drivers side wheel rubbing on right hand turns...

out of the blue the wheel starts rubbing on the plastic inner wheel cover, have no idea why. its on sharp turns to the right, looked at wheel cover and you can see the mark up high on the plastic. i don't see an issue with the cover or the wheel, any ideas? thanks

Did you hit any big potholes recently? I'd check the inner and outer tie rod ends on the driver's side, maybe one of them is bad.

worth a shot, i thought something suspension related. not a biggie, just annoying as hell sometimes.

what i think this is is a ball joint problem. i kinda remember the shifting issue last time one of these went bad. going to pop it up on the lift and check all the suspension and linkage , axles, etc. just to be sure. i'll let you know what it was in a few days.
