Control arm or tie rod is bent, happened to me in an accident too. Could have bent the strut also.

If it is rubbing on the strut housing then the wheel or strut housing is bent along with other parts.Originally posted by aaron_tupper View PostSo my e30 was hit the other day.

Jack it up and take the wheel off. It is that easy, we can only tell so much from a picture.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

The control arms are kind of a sacrificial part so it is usually the first thing to let go.
The knuckle is pretty tough though so it is most likely not bent.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

The only way the wheel would get closer to the strut is if either the knuckle, the strut tube or the wheel is bent. If the wheel rubs consistently as you spin it, then suspension is bent. Either way, you will need a new strut assembly.Comment
