weird rubbing noise?? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #5407 15 posts Started by LBCxGUY
i hear it when i turn it all the way to the right and that the only time i hear it...well i just dropped it with some eibach's SPORTLINES....i think its comming from the passenger side wheel,shock, something...i dunno??........dont know if i installed wrong or wut....hope it get some help...THANKS!!
same thing happening with my TRDs, i think the springs just need to set... but im not 100% sure.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
what kind of noise is it?

i am awesome
I had the same problem with my stock springs. When I put new struts on the front i didn't get the spring to set in the right spot in the spring seat. The end of the spring wasn't sitting all the way to the end of the groove. You don't have to worry,,there's nothing wrong with your springs or nothing.
so is there a way to fix it or does it just settle itself?

dunno about regular springs, but with the ground controls the fix is to grease the top perch. hope that helps. >smile.gif>

how well would 16's help w/fender gap??...maybe some fat or wide tires??...i was thinkin 215/50/16
I have 17's on my car and I think the wheels still look too small. The Celica has HUGE wheel arches!
I'm pretty happy with my wheel gap now. Any lower and I would be scraping on driveways and bumps in the road. . . not to mention, I still have smooth ride.
Oh yeah, and I also get that wierd rubbing noise on my passenger front when I turn the wheel all the way. Is the tire rubbing something?
