VS Commodore, Front Left tyre Rubbing on Strut

[vs5speed]

Hey all just wondering what yu all think would be the problem with my car,

The problem is My Front Left tyre when i turn right Scrubs on my Strut Turning left going straight it is fine only time the problem occurs is when im Turning Right :S:S:S

Anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be ??

Thanks Again

Mmm i thought that aswell but i had 15's on there that still done it ...

[moff_man]

couple things, bent strut, worn camber (hub to strut) bolts, wheel berings loose

any abnormal movement in the wheel/steering ?

[glennis]

just dont turn right.... problem fixed,

[vs5speed]

Na no abnormal movement at all,

But the wheel bearing on the right side sqeeks rofl. so i know it needs to be replaces anyone suggest what my next step shoudl be

[moff_man]

get a wheel alignment, maybe the camber is at 1.5 deg neg or something

Went today to get a front end alignment they told me they could only do the Toe cause it was scrubbin on the Strut..

Did you ask them whats causing this to happen? It sounds like theres some very worn out parts on there that need replacing..Its probably dangerous.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The adjuster on the strut could be wound all the way out causing the top of the wheel to be too close to the strut. When turning left the wheel angles in more and if the alignment is out, the scrub radius could be forcing the wheel over more, causing it to rub.

Id be checking that the stub axle isnt bent or the strut. Did you buy the struts new?
