The rubbing is driving me nuts.

Ok so i'm at a loss for words. I got my new tires put on and they are a little wider then the stock. They are the exact same height as my old tires tho.

When i go over a dip or take a right turn really hard, the back drivers side tire rubs. I cant understand what it would be rubbing on. Maybe the spring? I have jumped up and down and rocked it back and forth and have not been able to duplicate this sound. Why would it only be on one side of the car tho??? Even with 5 big guys crammed in there it only rubs on that side. I did have that minor accident on that side so thats the only thing that i can think of and i hope when i replace my bumper it will go away.

It might be the lip on the fender. Check it for shiny spots, also check the tires sidewall for any scraping.

Check the strut. If you were hit flat-on at the wheel, you might have misaligned the strut.

Most common place for wear is the strut body.
