Driver Side Rear End, Wheel / Tire Rubbing Options

[martinef1963]

Hello. Last week or so I chimed in on a thread about Bilstein's adjustable perch. The consensus was to start on the 3rd level from the bottom.

I did, however, the driver's side tire still rubbed on the quarter panel lip, however, did not on the passenger side (close, but still).

Today I moved the perch up to the 5-tier and the tire is still rubbing on the lip - on the passenger side much better clearance.

I did note that the driver's side wheel sits out further than the passenger side and all other wheels. I took a look at the CV joints to see if there was a difference between side, however, did not see anything that would make me think it would be the CV joints.

I inspected the A-arm and it appears to be solid, no signs of rust or break(s). Can someone throw some ideas out at me. I drove this car out from California in 2002 / 2003 and didn't have this problem.

I initially suspected the CV joints because when we did the rebuild the CV were removed and reinstalled.

I will get some pictures so you guys can see exactly what I am talking about.

thanks,

Fern
