Question

Hi all - dont normally venture beyond the General Discussion forum, its not too scary out here is it?

Anyway my question - the outside of my tyres rub on the inside of the rear wheel arch when I tow my Folding Camper - I have lowered the noseweight on the towball as much as I dare and it eases the problem marginally (the tyres still rub on any bump or undulating surface).

I was going to fit Spring Assisters, but, guess what?? my Impreza has NO springs!!! I assume by that it is a torsion bar system??

Any way of adjusting the rear drop? Anyone any answers as to what to do? these cars are Farmers cars for gods sake - the should be able to tow exceptionally well!!

Beleive me when I say that your car DOES have springs, you just need to look in the wheelarch to see them, not under the car!
Can't help with the problem though, sorry.
