    Default the car makes a rubbing sound when i turn after getting new shocks n springs

    its not scrubbing out cuz its to low, its more like a rubber on rubber sound when i turn.
    it does it when the cars warmed up a bit.
    i would take the car back but its been a month since i got it done.
    is there anything i can do about it?

    Look for any sign of the front wheels rubbing on the plastic guard inner liner, particularly in front of the wheels.
