Quick suspension question

I got my eibachs and tokicos installed yesterday, and the rear driverside tires still rubs when I turn and the weight is on that side. does anyone have any idea what it could be? It did it before the new struts so I figured that that was the problem, but it still does it, I had the same whell tire combo on my gxe and it never happened, 235/45/17.

also do the rear struts go inside of a housing in the back? Im just making sure because I can not see the rear struts when I look and I just want to be positive that they installed them.

this happened on my friends car. We rolled the fender and it fixed it, kind of a ghetto fix.

not sure about the rubbing, but yes, the rears are inserts so you wont see anything different back there except the springs

thanks Craig, i was just checking

and about rolling the fenders, I would just go down to a smaller tire width but I had the same tires on my gxe and it doesnt do it on the passenger side.

i had that problem with my 225 60 15's but now that i have eibach tokiko i have had no problems at all... dont know what to tell you, i did roll my fender well in a bit, so if it rubbbed no damage was incurred, do you have anything in the trunk?


try taking alkl weight out of the trunk, then pushing it hard, if it STILL does it, you need smaller tires no questions asked.

since its only on that one side is it possible the car was wrecked on that side before you got it? If it was maybe when they put the new quarter panel on it is off just enough to rub a little. Who knows just a thought.

because it did it once or twice with the stock tire when I had three people in the back.
