    front rubbing? (added new rear fender question)

    when i go over woops in the road my front suspension makes this kind of squeal. I would imagine this sound is my wheels hitting the fenders but i dotn see anything on my wheels or fenders to tell me i hit. i clear my strut tower so what am i hitting. i have i.eIII springs/bilstein wtih et 18 17x7.5 wheels. do you think i am hitting or is there somthign i did wrong in instilation where it would make this noise. thanks

    Did you take a look at your fender liners?

        On my fender liners it wipes off the dust/dirt and gives it a nice polish. You should be able to tell. My tires are rubbing in the front, near the brake ducts.

            Maybe try jacking the car up and removing the tire? You'll get the best view that way - takes maybe 10 minutes too. ;)

              i figured out i am clearing the fender lip but i am hitting the plastic piece in the inner fender wall. i am going to move that up a bit and hope that works but i am not sure if i will clear. * in the rear why is the inner fender thicker on half of the fender. its the side closer to the front of the car. This causes me to rub on the fatter part. can that fattness be reduced to get clearence.
