Problem with rubbing.

[Wolfhound]

I have 17X9 rims up front and H&R springs with no isolators. The car had no problem of rubbing. I then took the car to get aligned and also to install Maximum Motorsports CC plates. Now it rubs real bad when I turn left. I decided to get a set of MM isolators to raise it up a bit and it still rubs, but not as bad as it did before. Is there any possiblity that an alignment could make it rub? Thanks

Have you determined where it is rubbing?

Yes, it is rubbing the lining in the front right fender wall.

If the alignment stood the tire back up some, and the spherical bearing in the MM plates took out some binding, then I'd say its possible that you acquired the rub.

If it only touches at full lock, I'm not sure I'd worry about it much; so long as it isn't a hard rub.

Might consider using a couple of rack limiters if it bothers you.

Haapened to me as well. Pushed the plastic liner in the wheel well with my hand and no more problems.

got it fixed while it was on the rack at Hermanns. It was the inner lining, the push pins came out. Thanks for the help guys.
