Sup, alright I am rolling with TEIN BASIC DAMPERS with the stock upper mounts for the fronts and a week ago I ordered some CUSCO CAMBER PLATES in and replaced them with my stock upper mounts. Now I camber in my front wheels about -3. Im running 17x9 +35 with 225/45/17 tires up front. Now, when I turn right the left wheel rubs against the fender well, its about 2-4 mm away but when I turn to the right, my right wheels doesnt even come close of rubbing, it still has about 30-35mm away from the upper mount. Now why is my left wheel rubbing and my right wheel doesnt?? Could it be my tensions rods are off on one side??? HELP PLZZ>>>>> Both the height is same!!!

Ummm considering that your damper is bolted to the spindle, it's impossible for the tire to get closer to the upper mount when turning.

After listening to the noise for days, I found out that it was my rims rubbing onto my coilover when turning. Now that is solved but the next problem is, my caster on the left wheel is closer to my frame when i turn right but not the right wheel. Could this be my stock tension rods?

Get the car aligned. Is the castor actually off or is the frame bent?

As long as the tension rods aren't bent, and the bushings are still in place, the castor should be relatively close. Something is tweaked.

Get the car aligned and go from there. Once you install new suspension parts, everything can easily be thrown off.
