So i have just replaced the front anti-roll bar droplinks which went on spot on but i also replaced the sway bar bushes as they looked fooked and then went for a little test drive and seems that something is wrong as one of my front wheels is rubbing on the inside??

Could it be the sway bar is slightly out of place and this is causing the wheel to rub?

First time i have ever done this so any help would be good?

Thanks

anyone??????

 

The sway bar should effect the geometry of the wheel at all only thing i can think of is did you have spacers?

 

Didnt have spacers no?

 

is it rubbing all the time or just when turning?

 

Just when i turn left! Gonna stick it on axle stands tomoz and see if i can see anythin obvious?

 

on full lock?

 

yes!

 

ah right, I had a similar problem on mine, what links are you using and is the car lowered?

 

Sway bar? Do you mean anti-roll-bar?

 

He does yes. I had the problem on mine, it's the droplink catching on the steering arm on full lock, nothing to worry about as it's only on full lock, but get some pics up with it on full lock just to make sure.

I was using cdf droplinks when it started, I've now switched to perrin droplinks and the problem has pretty much gone away, but it still rubs occasionaly but only on full lock when I'm reversing into my drive or parking spot so I don't worry about it

 

anti roll bar! and i will get pics up tomoz as i will be doin some bits to my car then!

 

Just a quick update! The wheels were not rubbing it was the bolts in the droplinks rubbing on the inside of the rim as i being a stupid Fu*k fitted the anti roll bar upside down lool. The droplinks were facing down instead of up.. Lesson learned tho

 

glad you're sorted mate, we are all guilty of making stupid mistakes

 

Maybe that one should join the annals of Scoobynet folklore?

LOL

 

lool! only realised it was the wrong way when i see someone else had done it in a picture haha
