Default wtf...

So after making a few runs tonight part of my 12 bolt housing cover is rubbing the upper panhard bar cross over. I think maybe the this means the rearend is tilting backwards, and might be a torque arm issue. Any other thoughts from you guys? I'll put it in the air tomorrow to check it out, was just seeing if anyone had idea of what it could be.

Do you have any pictures of where it's hitting? Is it just a couple scuffs, or is the paint wearing off like it's constantly rubbing?

Yup, its the torque arm. Is this where it normally breaks? And it was carving into my housing cover, which blows cause I just bought it haha.

Bad news! Don't drive it till you get a replacment. Time to get a better built aftermarket piece.
