I thought I was the only one that had this problem. When I take hard turns to the right, I hear a scrapping sound like the tire is scrapping the fender lip. The weird thing is that this only happens with my stock rims/tires. When I got my 235/35/19's on it never happens.

Go figure!

That's what you get for having stock struts/shocks with shortened springs...

Hey, thanks. Hard to tell almost the whole back half was replaced - bumper, trunk lid, trunk floor and fixed driver quarter panel - $10k worth of damage.
