Alright, i was reading around on here and trying to find an answer, but cant find the specific answer i am looking for.

I lowered my car earlier this year with Eibach springs and put in the kyb adjustable shock and struts, so everything was fine, then the suspension broke in, which was good, but as of late when i turn right, or go up a driveway or down one, my front driver side wheel makes a scrapping noise.

I know its the tire hitting up against the inner fender or something of the matter, because the noise just wont go away, but my question is how do i fix it? do i need to replace any control arms? bushings? etc. etc. which i didnt do in the initial suspension install. Anything i missed? or should get checked to get this annoying problem fixed? oh yeah and you can see in the inner fender where its been scrapping. Help is greatly appreciated.

I remember reading a post about what to do when lowering your car, but cant find it.

Its most likely rubbing on the fender liner.

Most people just remove the liner, and reposition the wiring harness out of the way.

A little rubbing is the downfall of a lowered car.
