Good afternoon all,

ive got my car back on the road, and last night I could hear the tire wall rubbing the fender, but only on one side. I dont think there are any shims in place on the side thats rubbing, and the coils should be fine (cars not "bouncy" at all.)

should my first step be to check for shims and return the wheel to a negative camber? sunlight is scarce after work so just trying to work efficiently.

cheers!

Lots of tire manufactuers run wider than others, so thats likely the issue. You might need to step down in tire size. What are you running and how wide of a wheel? Lets see some pictures.
