So I'm pulling out of my driveway and turn my steering-wheel all the way counterclockwise, and here a really bad scraping sound coming from the driver side front tire. But only when the car is moving and the wheel is all the way counterclockwise.

I just got wider tires installed but it did not make any sense that it would rub on only one side. So I jack the car up and remove the driver side front wheel/tire. This is what I found...




This part sticking out is called a "member stay pin". It helps stabalize the "front suspension member". It is held on by 1 big screw and two smaller screws. The two smaller screws were gone. Probably someplace between Arizona and Nevada. So I check the otherside and those screws are about to fall out. I tightened them to 20lbs and now I'm in the market for a new "member pin stay". Unless someone jacked me and I'm the only one--you all should check the two smaller screws holding the "member pin stay" onto the body of your car.

This is a picture of the passenger side and what the driver side SHOULD look like.

Would you prefer them to drink CC?

 

checked mine, bolts were tight. Thanks for the HU!

 

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up!

 

Could it be from the added stress of the suspension changes you have done these last few months? Maybe the bolts need to be checked after dropping on lowering springs??

 

i wonder does it matter for auto/6 spd?

 

I hear ya Bro. But I'm not the only one that has gone low.

I ended up just buying a "new" one. It costed $38.

 

Many thanks

 

Thnx.....
