rubbage

Ok, just recently when I cut my bumpstops down my car got a little lower in the front 0 finger gap. Ive realized when im going fast...and i turn hard u hear CKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK (im guessing tire rubbing against plastic) Will this mess up my tire? Can it hurt anything? It only does it on real hard turns, and turning on like inclines. thankz

trimming bumpstops too much can cause you to blow out your shocks. I'd be careful with this. If you notice fluid coming out of eitehr wheel area when parked you may want to replace your shocks as well as replace your bumpstops to factory and cut them only to spec of your spring installation instructions.

As for rubbing during turning then it can mess up the tire. what I'd do for that is

1) remove the wheel
2) look to where the tire is rubbing, there should be signs of wear there.
3) use a dremel tool or other cutting tool to cut that part of the plastic out that would be rubbing on your wheels.
4) replace that part of the fender with someth
ing more curved in so as not to rub.

hope this gives you some ideas on how to DIY your problem away.
problems solved.

is it rubbing the fender or just the fender liner? If it's just the fender liner don't worry about it I just gave up on my liners as i bust them like rubbers.
