Rubbing with 18x10.5 I have a rubbing noise coming from the rear tires when I take a turn or when I hit a hard enough bump. I was thinking of doing the bfh :judge: mod but I am not 100% sure if I need too. Also I talked to a few guys and they said it may be the pan hard bar since the rear end may be getting a little sloppy and it could be rubbing? Suggestions and ideas would be great!! |
Try popping off the rear wheels and if you can see where its rubbing just do the BFH mod. It's usually in the 9 o'clock position. I cant offer any advice w/ the panhard bar. Sorry. |

I have the same problem man. Mine are 18x8.5 (+56mm) Black C6 Motorsports on a '00 3.8L bird. I took a real quick glance to try and find where the rubbing is. I just did it in the school parking lot, cuz that's where it got the worst (a lot of speed bumps) so I was not able to raise the car up any to get a good look. I felt around and couldn't feel any rubbing at all and it seemed like there was at least 2 full inches in the tightest spot. What I would suggest is: next time you get your tires rotated (especially if you take your car to the same place most of the time), ask the mechanic to take a look at/show you anything he can find out about the situation. I didn't realize it before, but after I heard that rubbing, I thought something might be wrong with my car's ass too. I don't know a whole lot about suspensions or anything for that matter (just try to learn as I go), so I'm not going to make any further assumptions and make myself sound more ignorant than I might already. Anyway, if you could let me know what you find out, that would be great. I'll try to send you a message or something if I find something out. I'll probably take it up to where I got the wheels installed if I can find enough time. It's real hard going to school full time and working part time though. Good luck man. |
