    Default Remeber my curb incident, This is the after story

    So i took my car in to get fixed upper and lower control arms bla bla, 600 bones and so on..

    Last couple days ive been hearin a hard "Rubbing" sound from the passenger side especially when i turn to the right. even at a slow speed i hear it every like half a second. Wtf is going on.

    you probably have a bent strut housing, look to see if the tire is rubbing on the housing. dont drive it too far cause your tire can explode! The shop should have noticed this!

    It's possible a control arm can be mounted in the wrong hole..... when I did my whole suspension I made that mistake. I believe its the control arm, on the outter mounting point, theres 2 holes about 2 inches apart.
