Western Members - rubbing on right turns? cornering!

hey guys, well currently in the back of my car has a BMR adjustable PHB,BMR LCA, tokico shocks, and vogtland springs, and 255/50/16's i have my PHB adjusted already and its pretty straight now, but i noticed when i corner a bit hard in a right turn i can hear some type of rubbing from the rear! what would you guys think it it? maybe the nut on the PHB came loose? i am going to buy a upgraded rear swaybar soon maybe 23mm will that fix my problem??

Check for signs of rubbing. Tryo to find the source of the rubbing before you waste money on the wrong "fix".

I had that issue twice. The first time it was the passenger tire, the second time it was the tire on the inner fender. (bet it has 315's lol)

double check your PHB. then find the rub spot and hammer away

I dont see how you can rub with only 255's? You wouldnt happen to have GTO rear fenders on your Camaro... would yoU??:engarde:

lol, only 255's and rubbing, there has to be a problem with your adj maybe its inner fender and just havent noticed yet, you need to go down there and look, then get some real tires on that car. lol

yea i have some 10 spokes with 275's in my backyard! but im going to my buddys shop now, maybe get my car on a lift to check it out!

make sure its a drive on lift, a 2 post wouldnt do any good really.

My car used to rub in hard turns heading up to big bear but i had 295 30 19's on the back at the time. just check for the rub mark and smash it in, but it sure does seem strange that it would do that with the smaller size of these tires.

i just saw my problem, its a very very light rub on the bump stop on the left rear wheel! its very light, i can only tell since the wheel is a little clean! but i think it may be my panhard bar but it looks pretty even! i may just move that wheel a tiny bit out to solve the problem!

cut the bumpstops!!!

If you're not rubbing you're not driving fast enough. :drive:

im already taken right hand turns at like 40 2nd gear on throttle, i may just leave this alone until i install my other wheels, and i want to get my swaybar soon too!

Good deal. See you didn't have to go spending money for nothing. It's always the simplest of things that seem to go wrong.

no problem ;) hope it helps :drive:

Not sure why you'd be rubbing with such a small rear tire. I'm lowered, and have 315's in the back. I had to roll finders and hammer on the inside well though. But even prior to that, bumpstops never got in the way. Now, I don't scrape anywhere.

Maybe panhard adjusments are off? Just alittle confused why you'd scrape with such a small tire, and I'm assuming stock height??

running lowered with vogland springs! i did not have this problem till i had to readjust the PHB to the drop level!

Mine rubs on hard right turns too...but im lowered on 315s with the stock panhard rod.

i guess ill take it a bit easy on turning, but mine is such a very light rubb, i mean i can barely notice

couldnt fix it yet?

lol not yet! maybe after it bothers me alot

when u adjust ur phb where is the jack or jackstands?

i had them under on the differntial right next to the swaybar ends

next time you take off your tire... look for the rub spot... then bang the shit out of it with a sledge!

theyre supposed to be on the "frame rail" right before the RCA.use the jack to lift the axle if u have to.Otherwise it will bind up

yea i know what u mean but i wanted to have the rear loaded so its adjusted right! but i think i may be rubbing on the outer parts not exactly on the bump stops! but so far it hasent rubbed since i have the rear 10 spokes on and i cant corner any more with those tires that arent the best, so i just have been doing some burnouts lol,
