#33376, "Right Front Wheel Rubs When Turning Right"


          

So here is the deal,

I first noticed this when I installed my RRE under brace.

Rubs on the actual fender well towards the rear of the car.

Tie rod ends were shot - and I was doing Prothane bushings anyway so I went ahead and did that and got the car aligned.

Still rubs.

Short of throwing 5mm spacers on it - I do not what else to try and fix this. Alignment spec sheet is perfect so I know it is not that.

Any ideas?

So I can better understand and picture it, cock the wheel to the right, and take a picture of how it is contacting the fender.

Bam, pictar!

For funsies I set the steering straight, then counted turns from left to right. 1.25 turns from center to left, and 1.25 from center to right.

I am stumped.

Camber is -2.8 degrees both sides. Everything else is well within spec.

Sorry man, but I have no point of reference in that picture heh. I meant, crank the tire all the way over to where it rubs, and take a picture so I can see the angle and such.
