G2 front left tire rubs when turned

ribbingrider31 · 06-18-2009, 11:39 PM

By any chance could it be the springs make the tires not like straight. They seem like they point in towards the center a bit. I might end up just saying screw trying to fix this and just wait till i can afford that new one. Anyone know where to get a decent cheap lift? And any advice on how to fix this is still welcome lol. I'm not a great person with this type of stuff I'd rather dig into a motor

control arm bushing might be worn

shim your lift kit towards the front

doesn't rub at all anymore

what did he reweld? i;m having the same issue on my g9 but i think mine is a bent a-arm

my problem was the front plates were bent so he made new ones and spot welded them on and reinforced them along with still using the bolts, and he put a cool lil hook loop thing on so it could be towed if it ever had to be. he did a good job for doin it free :). but im sure u could find where ur a arm is bent and heat it up and bend it back or have someone do it for u.

sabercat · 08-10-2009, 09:41 PM

cool so that the plate that was bent?

ribbingrider31 · 08-10-2009, 09:51 PM

yeah and like the supports inside it were messed up too. he just copied it completely with better grade steel and welded it to the frame. it doesn't rub at all anymore unless im taking a sharp turn when the suspension is compressed in the front from like a hill or something.
