[QUOTE="ehoe, post: 46583, member: 141"] I think I've confirm its the absorbers that is giving the problem. The tyre is actually rubbing against the fender when the wheels are turned at an angle going up slopes or humps. Obviously the damping rate of the absorber is weak so the tyre is hitting the fender. That is why I noticed that the ride hide is slightly lower than what it is normally. At first I thot it was my imagination then I had a friend look at my tire whilst I went over a hump and sure enough it was the tyre rubbing against the fender. I've been using the same tire & rim (235/45/17) with Koni Sport Absorbers & Bilstein Springs for quite some time and never had this problem of rubbing the fenders. Anyway the Koni's are about due for a change, i think they are easily 4 - 5 years old already. Oh well time to go hunting for a new set of shocks. :huh: [/QUOTE]
