Chasv8z Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It seems my rearend is shifting forward is this caused by bad bushings in the control arms? My tires are way too close to my fender and scrubbing the lip of the fender not so bad before but I just had the springs and struts changed (Illuminas and lowering springs) and now they are catching the lip. Oh and the driver side is worse than the pass side. Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Put some poly bushings on the rear control arms, or G Machine inner bushings and poly outers. If they still rub, get a smaller diameter tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8dats Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 or cut the fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 There was a string a while back showing many Z cars with the rear tire closer to the front edge of the lip than the back (by a significant amount). I'd consider this, and Jon's advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasv8z Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I don't know I'm not at my car right now it is in the shop but today I ordered some new control arm bushings and some new link kits. So I will see if that does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Now search "spindle pin" before you dive in, and you'll save yourself a lot of hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
