Heres my setup and problem

1996 240sx

KYB AGX StrutsEibach SpringsPollyurithane Control arm bushings17x8 wheels225/45/17

ProblemAnytime turning right and wieght is transferd onto the drive side tire it rubs up in the fender. To the point its eaten though the inner fender liner and eating into my wires (big problem). The thing is the passanger side does not do this with a passanger or without it will not rub.

Now I cant figure it out. The struts are almost brand new and the springs when I took them off seemed to still have plenty of spring load.

Could it be bad springs?Bad Strut?Or what?

Also this is a rubbing on the top of the fender well not the sides my wheel offset is fine.

Sounds like it could be quite a few things. get your alignment checked for caster differneces, and if possible, check for bent suspension peices.

Also, is this a front or rear tire rub issue - I can't tell and need to know that to help you.
