Hi guys,
My Roc is back on the road but the left front wheel is rubbing on the outside arch/liner when I go around a right hander or over a pothole. If I get the tracking seen to do you think this will help... and maybe a smaller profile tyre on the front?
many thanks
Andy

has the car been rebuilt/repaired recently?
what size tyres/wheels are you running?
standard suspension?
pictures might help too Andy.
welcome by the way.

Take the poo shield out and get it all tracked up. Should be fine

Mine doesnt have any front liners and the arch has been cut back. Full fat 195/50/15 tyres and never scrubs. And shes low!

Cool guys, thanks for the help. I will get some pics. The tyre has a 55 profile and the car is lowered 35mm. Pics to come.

If its only on one side just check you haven't got a broken coil spring.They can go at the top where the spring coil is narrower.

Great! I will get the tracking/new tires done and get someone to have a look at the same time!
I appreciate the help guys!

front camber being out is another one that wants checking. get it done at the same time as the tracking. use a decent alignment centre (i.e. not quickshit)
