Tire rubbing LCA

    Alright, so all is well with the budget boost. Mostly anyway. The right front tire rubs the lca at full turn. At first I couldn't figure out what it was til I actually got out and looked. Is there anyway to fix this? I was told that it's because the track bar got pulled to the left from the lift. I've heard about relocating the track bar or buying a new one. Anything else though? :shrug: I know it's not a big deal, but it gets on my nerves since I like to make tight turns. :laughing:

    Hmm. I'm not sure if it's because I centered the steering wheel or not. Didn't really notice it before then. That's the only thing I've changed since the lift.

    Thanks! It's not rubbing on both sides though. Just do it to the pass side? Or should I still do it to both?

    yeah, sounds like it's from the trackbar not being replaced/moved. I get the same problem :D if its rubbing on the passenger side, I *think* you add a washer on the drivers side.

    Yeah, I looked into it. Needs an adjustable track bar or to be moved and redrilled. TJ's was just relocated. After I decide on my final amount of lift I'll buy f/r track bars. For now I'm doing the steer stop thing. :D



    Passenger side or drivers side? Anyone?

    If the right side rubs then you need to adjust the left side out a little.


    Thanks! I will try this over the weekend and see what happens. :wavey:

    its really a simple process. 2 minutes literally, unscrew, add a washer or two, screw in. done.

    okay, then....backing up once in a great while is considerably cheaper than a full set of rims.



    Agreed. Not too concerned about turning radius, I just don't want to rip my tires to shreds. Also don't have the cash for new wheels right now. Eventually I'll buy adjustable f/r track bars AND new wheels and be happy. For now, I'll take the cheap way out.



    Btw, I decided I def need a new rear track bar. My left tire is inside the flare and the right tire is outside the flare. :doh:
