I got a 5th gen SH, its dropped on coilovers on stock shocks. I hav this intermitent rubbing noise coming from the passenger side of the car.(cant tell wheter its the front or back) Anyways the faster you go the faster the noise gets, and when u get on the breaks it dissapers. Its also louder when cornering. Ive already replace boht front and back wheel bearings on that side and the problem persists. Could it be ball joints??? Because I dont think my wheel is rubbing. What should I check or do next???? Thanx

You most likely need new shocks.

 

How long have the coilovers been on? Sometimes the springs just simply need to be broken in. Also, did you install yourself? Make sure you didn't forget anything when you put them back together.

 

The springs have been in for two years now. The problem is recent and yes everything is installed right. Could this be a symptom of ball joints??

I'm gonna have to go with Steve on this one then. Running stock shocks on the higher rate springs for to long will blow them. The life of a stock shock on aftermarket springs (with more than an inch of drop) is about 4-6 months. Dump the shocks and go for something aftermarket.

 

I agree with you guys bout the shocks, but I seriously doubt that has much to do with the noise I described above.
