Hey, i seem to be having a problem with my front left suspension.

If i take a right turn a little faster then normal, the tire hits and rubs the fender. I know its hitting the fender because where the fender liner bolts to the fender has cut into the tire a little. Also the middle of the tire is starting to get cut by something, i have to check that out prolly tomorrow.

But if i take a left turn a little to fast there is no problem, there is no rubbing on the right side.

Now today i check the shock to see if it was leaking and its not, perfectly dry.

What else could be causing this if the shock is not bad? Could the body be a little bend down on that side causing it to rub? I know the car was in a front end accident by the previous owner.

Any suggestions would help , thanks.
