Default Front of door rubbing on fender...HELP

Well this afternoon i went to open my door and heard a creak(not a squeak) so i closed it and didnt hear it. So I opened it again and noticed the noise was where the door was rubbing the fender. What has caused this and what can i do to fix it? BFH? SFC?

I had the same problem... is this the 1st time you noticed it? How level was the ground you were parked on?

Mine did the same a few times and at a few different parking lots... It hasn't done it since but Have you checked under the car where the fender bolts to the rest of the car? If thats bent it affects the bottom and can cause it to stick out a bit... It could also affect where the door is rubbing. If its not straight I would unbend it and see if that helps

Well i noticed that it is bent. I guess I will get some vise grips a hammer and a 2x4 and see if it helps any. If not will SFCs be a wise investment? I am planning on getting them but i guess it just got bumped up on the priority list.

SFCs are a good investment. Equally as important, make sure to tell whoever is working on your car to raise and properly position the lift pads so they don't bend or break your front fenders!
