Front wheel rub
« on: Monday,July 23, 2018, 08:45:01 AM »
After l cut my front springs down to 10" l now have a problem with the wheels rubbing the upper front A arm.
This only happens when I'm backing up.
So l have hammered them in to gain a little more clearance.

Bruce,  I remember quite clearly that reverse only wheel rub with my JPS.   Never really investigated to find out exactly what was rubbing or if it could be resolved.   Just didn't turn the wheel all the way.  :)
BTW, are you driving the Europa or Elan to LOG?
