Rear Wheel Rubbing.

[hazzamondo]

Afternoon,

Passenger side rear wheel is rubbing on my phase 1 172. It was fine till a track day at cadwell. Im running standard 15"wheels and toyo 195/50 tyres. Drivers side is fine, no rubbing at all. Checked wheel bearing and have no movement .

Any ideas ???

Broken spring?
Im guessing its all the time not just when going over bumps?

just on the inner arch liner? standard, they all do it

Spring is fine, im running standard suspension aswell.
Yep its all the time, More noticeable when turning right.
The wheel seems to have developed quite abit of camber aswell, so im thinking more towards rear beam????

Its rubbing enough to slow the car down when rolling i will upload a pic.

Started to rub behind the liner aswell.

and you can make out the camber in this shot.

My car does that when my missus friend sits in the rear of my car...

Mine does it with an empty car ....

Right people

i have decided to replace the rear beam , will it have to be a phase one beam or will any mk 2 rs beam fit ???

cheers.

Get some hub centric spacers instead? easier and spacing out the rears looks good.

Change the stub axle first!

Did you ride the kerbs much?

i hit a kerb quite hard avoiding a mini,

i will try the stub axle , thought it was one complete unit.

cheers

Right after chipping a tooth swapping the stub axle over the wheel still rubs.
Now on the drivers side you can fit your hand behind the wheel, but the passenger side the wheel touches the arch liner.

Any ideas guys before i burn the fucker and take the 1.3 diesel to the ring !!
