Default Help please

My right front tire is rubbing on the back wheel well when I make a right hand turn. It doesn't rub when I turn left.

It is rubbing on the lower back part, not the top so I don't think it is a strut or spring, but I don't know what it is or what happened.

Any ideas?

I have stock rims and stock size tires, stock suspention

it sounds as if you have some damage, some improperly repaired damage. or you are in some serious need of some bushings...

Need to know if your car had ever been wrecked, how many miles are on it, and if you are the original owner or not...

has it ever been aligned?

Never been in a wreck, I am the second owner. I had my car aligned and the two front tires changed at 66000 miles, and I now have 68000 miles.

I am taking my car in where I got the work done to see what is wrong, I just wanted to see what you guys thought before I went.

free double post

Alright well I went by the tire place where i got my new tires and alignment done, and turns out they put the wrong tires on my car. Kinda stupid since they are a tire place and thats what they do, but they are replacing them w/ new tires of the right size.

OHhhhhhhhh So it was too big of a tire, hence the rubbing!
Haha,... That's funny. Well kinda.
All in all you get new tires and they're stuck of the used ones.
Oh well.

Anyway, thanks for the update. smile.gif
