    Rubbing Sound with steering input up driveway

    Just thought I'd post up this curious question.

    Lately I've installed offset forward control arm bushings in my 87 E30.

    When I go up and turn (right hand, forward passenger wheel) into my driveway there is a noise that originates from the front right corner of the car that sounds like a rubber rubbing noise, like a weird farting noise. I'm at a loss of what it could be because not much was changed. It sounds like something is rubbing. The car is currently on Billy's and Mtech shocks so it's not by any means low (yet).

    Anyone have any ideas, I'm interested in hearing them. I can't get the wheel off or get it lifted up because I'm at school and doesn't seem to be a critical issue.

    Thank you

    Seems that my tire is rubbing on the inside of the fender at about 9oclock on the tire/wheel when at full lock to the right. Anyone have an experience with this?

    My suspension is Billy's with Mtech springs and offset fcabs. Stock besides that.

      offset fcabs can make your tires rub the forward front fender liners at full lock.

      It happens to me even with an undersized 205/50/15 tire

        Just saw this a month late! Thanks for the heads up. Anyway to work with this? or is it just be careful and be cautious of your turning type of thing.

        Thanks man
