    Has anyone lowerd their car and had this issue? I put new SL king springs and shocks
    In front and back and I have a feeling that it is rubbing on the rear guard.has anyone experienced this before?i have 18" tyres so I would have thought this would not happen?

    This is a ute and I do have my bike in the back

    Did you get a wheel alignment done after you lowered your car? Because that is the first thing you should do, and they will be able to tell you if something is wrong and needs replacing. If you haven't yet, then take it in for a full 4 wheel, wheel alignment.

    Yeah i have had 2 new tyres and 4 new rims put on with allignment after it was done.
    I put new rear shocks in when it started to happen... I haven't heard of people needing to roll their guards and new camber kits etc

    Nah you wont need to roll your guards with 18's. I have 20's on my WH Statesman and I didn't have to roll the guards.

    What size tyres have you got? 235/40R18? Because that is the correct tyre size.
