After a spirited run around and over the cones I noticed a rubber smell persisting. This week driving to work I heard a squeal. Today it seems the right rear tire is rubbing the inner fender where the box projects towards the wheel. The camber has become more pronounced and is visibly tipped in at the top of the wheel. Tires are 205s, but they cleared before. Clearly something has changed, and I suspect that in fact it changed during the autocross. Can you help me with ideas? The suspension console looks ok but the car has rust separating much of the firewalls from the floor at the rear. Car actually feels solid with no door gap issues.

check the bushings in the trailing arm first Well, the votes are in and I will check it out. Matched my suspicions but it is always best to ask the world about these things. I will get back with a verdict in a day or two. It seems I am lucky if I can go two steps forward and one step back. I would say rust too, except I know the car pretty well and have fixed these issues on the conversion tub. I kinda think that the longs and console are better than that. But - rust not only is insomniac, but camouflaged at every turn. So, I know better than to guess. I wish the lift wasn't a half hour drive... Thanks one and all. Great support! |
