Wheel rubbing on inner wing!

Hi Folks,

I've realised after the drive back from the SWM in the sportline that the off side front tyre rubs on the inner wing when its on full lock. Any ideas what might be causing it?

I've reciently adjusted the camber with a guage I bought from Frost and set it to -0.5 degrees both sides. I havent done the tracking though, do you think this might be the cause?

The tyres are 195/50/R15 I think and the car is slightly lowered.

Has anyone used a gunson trackrite, or can anyone recommend something else to set the tracking?

Cheers,

Ross

Ross,

Can recommend trackrite - a good simple tool.

You could be rubbing if the adjustment is way off and imbalanced (not centred).  You can check centering buy turnoing full lock one way, counting the turns to full lock the other and then turning back half that - wheels should be straight ahead at that point.

Cheers
