Tyre touching suspension

[Blane1992]

Hi guys,
ive got coilovers on my mk 2 1.2 clio and the inside of the front passenger tyre is touching the suspension, and that one wheel has a lot of camber, the same thing happened a few months ago and it turned out to be the strut mount bearings which I replaced, I've been told it is not the bearings this time, wondering if anyone else has ever had the same problem or know of anyone who has and what it could be?
thanks for any advice, Blane

How have you got camber.
Camber bolts or Adjusted on strut
What does the wheel bearing feel like
If you grab the top of the wheel, does it move when you pull and push it, if so try to see what is moving.
Check all this first.

Not sure mate because I haven't got any camber on the other 3 wheels just that one, there's isn't any play in the wheel when I pull and push it so don't think it will be the wheel bearing to be honest

Sounds nasty, and needs looking at. Sooner rather than later.

I know, I've already had one person look at it and they said they wasn't sure what it is and just said to buy some spacers for now to bring the wheel out a bit so waiting for them to be delivered

SPACERS!!! wtf. that's not the answer is it, something has broken, collapsed or moved.

I had this, there's camber adjustment on the shock. If you pull it out as far as possible and get someone else to tighten it. Should sit flat. Also if you are running standard tyres you'll need spacers because the standard tyres rub.

im not saying spacers is going to solve the problem but it will stop the tyre touching the suspension for now until i find out what the problem is. yeah i am running standard size tyres, i'll have to try the camber adjustment then, cheers gritch
