Default 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)

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!

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

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.

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??
