Cooksports fitted, now tyres rubbing on arch liners.

[Amberlamps]

So i had my Cooksports fitted yesterday, along with new dampers. Took it for a spin and noticed the front tyres rubbing on the arch liners, mainly on full lock left and right. Got home and had a look and the tyres are catching on this bit (first pic in step 2, bit that bulges out) http://www.cliosport.net/content/guides/fubar/bumper_guide.pdf. Is that bit that bulges out normal?

Im on trophy turinis, with cup packed dampers (FF 182), no spacers and wasn't expecting any rubbing. The tyres dont catch a great deal, but still its not ideal obviously.

Is it just a case of butchering the liner a bit to solve it?

Yup same with me, but mine also rubs under very hard cornering. Tbh they do sit fairly low for standard shocks imo. I am however running 20mm spacers but ofc your trophy wheels are pushed out further in the arches compared to my cup turinis.

Thought trophy turinis had a narrower stance?

Think i sorted it anyway. Took the wheels off and used some self tappers and washers to screw down that bulge.

Rather than start a new thread i noticed that the dust covers havent been fitted to the new front dampers. Are they essential?

Not had any rubbing issues myself.

If you mean the bump stops then yes...thats the reason you are scrubbing and it's an MOT failure iirc, some idiot left them off mine...

I mean the covers that slot over the slider, the shiney shaft (ooo er) that compresses into the shock body.

However, i will check to see if the bump stops have been fitted aswell. Are they fitted to the top or bottom, so i know where to look.

Cheers.

no worries; the bump stops are built into the bottom of the dust guards for the struts, so one piece; if your dust guards are missing then so are your bump stops

Thanks for clearing that up mate.

no bump stops will make it catch the bumper brackets under hard cornering and arch liners during light cornering. I had this problem

The stops and cover are probably in some landfill now, the springs were fitted last wednesday. Will have words with him tomorrow.
