Rotor rubbing on ball joint housing?
Friday, July 15, 2005 1:26 PM
Took it all apart today and put in a new ball joint in hope that it would fix my problem. unfourtunatly it seem that my control arm must be bent just enough to allow the rotor to rub the housing of the ball joint. Anyone else ever have this problem? Also, anyone have any drivers side spares they would sell me ?

car-part.com if you cant find any....

only seen that one time... when someone had their coilovers slammed and basically rode on the bump stops....

no suspension travel means other parts will have to absorb the blow....


even if they are prostreets, or top end coilovers, every suspension system is designed with wheel travel in mind. if you throw that caution out the window, thats def one of the results i have seen....

That's what i figured too. Being my 3rd year on prostreets with them slammed 9 months out of year doesn't really suprise me that something had to give adventually. I think the finishing touch that added more stress on the stress it was allready seeing was switching from 18's to 19's. Regardless.....the car has 130,000 miles on her so i know some of the bushing and suspension components were going to start going. Thanks for the help.
