So, I've been noticing when i make sharp turns going slow (like into a parking spot) i hear a little rubbing. This sounds like plastic rubbing on my tires, and I cant really see any irregular wear, but the noise is annoying. To fix this, do i need wheel spacers so the wheels arnt catching the plastic on these sharp turns, or what needs to be done? Thanks guys... any help is appreciated

mine did that b/c my wheel well cover was messed up. you can just take that off or just fix it so that it is moved away from the tires. i had to tiewrap the well cover to a part of the chassis to keep it from moving.

ah ok this makes sense... thanks for your fast help... im thinking your right because i've had a couple incidents (like hitting a raccoon) where the plastic in the wheel well might have been moved
