scrubbing issues

[1der]

hi guys,

My front passenger left tyre is scraping and has worn through the arch liner onto the metal, however it is not doin it on the drivers side.

When i measured from the wheel centre to the back of the arch, there was a 15mm difference in distance between the drivers and passengers side.


Does anybody know what could have caused this so be so different?

Thanks

Hi 1der,

I have the same problem with 16" wheels and 30mm lowered,
left front only, yes.

I had measured wheelbase , roughtly the same, or different within 5~10mm.

Had the control arm changed, ball joint changed,and switched L/R suspension, no different!

I think that could be chassis or subframe deformed.

when i looked i couldnt see any visible damage.

do you have coilovers or other aftermarket suspension kits alike?

[1der]

ive got coilovers.not wound down a lot though

[Tim_GTi]

I was about to say it could be them, or dodgy springs. But i just realised the difference your on about is in width, not the height....

sounds like the shock has given in or u have a broken spring!

That's what I thought, but i think he's saying the wheel is too close to the arch width ways not height ways, am i correct?

[1der]

tims correct. it is width way im meaning

What's your camber looking like?Also is the tracking off?

[1der]

camber looks as good as when i got it done, and tracking is fine too
