Default 3 dr drivers side rear wheel comes forward under boost....

spring assisters are on now. (front only so far but got couple of sets coming)

uder hard acceleration the drivers side wheel moves forward and rubs the front bottom of the body kit...

passenger side is fine - both sides slightly rub at the top as the back end drops but the spring assisters should stop this...

i'm guessing this is worn bushes?? front have been polyflexed - not touched the rears...

or is it in need of some axel location stuff??

remember reading about this ages ago on a group thrash rolling road session...

rear wheels are comp mos 8x17 with 235 40 17 NOt 45's like i said in another thread

any thoughts?

cheers
