Should this sit like it is?

[guysy]

Looking around my car to check everythings ok, Also because ive got a slight rubbing sound when i turn right.

Should these sit flat?

If this isnt right, Can someone tell me how to get it sitting flat myself?

Right:

Cheers.

it should be sitting flat mate. well mine does anyway

 

[iimushroomzii]

Are you parked on a flat surface?

 

[clio_luke]

shouldn't sit like that i dont think. should sit flat on the turret.
mine sit like the second pic (which imo still isn't right, dont know how to fix it tho)

My drive does have a slight slope.

they should be tighted up against the body. I take it wen you go over bumps you get a loud bang

 

[172Ben]

There fine i believe

Someone correct me otherwise though.

 

[domjolly]

dont look like they are tight enough for me just tighten the top bolt up till it sits flush on the body work....... surely they are knocking around when you drive????

 

[172Ben]

They shouldnt be to tight though. They have to move.

Mine sit more like the 2nd pic, level with the bodywork, but raised. So does my brothers clio

They move as you turn the wheel I thought.

 

[172Ben]

As ian said, they move when turning the wheel.

If they were like that when the wheels were straight i would be worried.

But if they are doing that while your turning the steering wheel, thats normal IMO.

They dont bang when i go over bumps no, No noises really. Apart from turning right it sounds like the front back wheel is rubbing, Not sure wheather its the front or back left wheel making the noise, If that at all.

How do i tighten the bolts? I tried yesterday but it seemed to just twist a little bit so i didnt force it. Ive heard something about an allen key?

I will WD40 them tonight and try tomorro.

 

[guysy]

Ill go put the car in the road with the wheels straight tomorro as well.

 

[172Ben]

They dont need to be super tight. Put a 6mm(I think) allen key in the top of the strut, and with a swan neck spanner, 21mm(i think) check there tight, but dont over do. If there fine then your sorted

Just put the wheels straight on a flat surface, They seem ok now. The left is about a mm higher.

Sorry for the confusion!

Im just trying to find out what this rubbing sound is when turning right. All shocks seem ok. Jack up both front and rear wheels. All seem ok, But front left has a mm or 2 of movement.

I don't think any wheels are rubbing against arch liners.
