bigwig, thats how we found out the shock hitting problem...
cant work out the going forward rubbing, as you gotta be going quite quick for it to happen... lol
coilovers are arriving ASAP... but i dont think thatlll solve problem as the width of the shock will stay the same!

so its not catching on the spring then mate, nor the spring holder- but further down- surley it should still be a bit smaller in diameter shouldn't it??

rear setup is same as cossie... ie seperate coil n spring (its the estage that have it all in 1)
also its rubbing on the thin part of the shock, below the spring/spring cup!!!
and thinking about it, the distance between the shock and the wheel can surely NEvER change? so why does mine touch only on full lock? WTF can be bust?

on the front? inner arch plastic liner! is it the same side as the washer bottle? if so the bottle may be hanging off(bolt not done up) and pushing the arch liner onto the wheel,had this problem for a bit on mine.soz thought your first prob was on back.

pretty sure its not catching
one side it rubbing slightly, but this is more of a smooth rub, not a knock knock knock like its catching on something

Jim IIRC you have standard sierra hubs up front and not cossie ones, so its very likely that you have less offset hence the wheel is closer to the strut
The clonking, does it only do it on full lock and is it from the front or rear
If front check tca's, tre's front wheel bearings
If rear check cv's, wheel bearings

on wednesday the following will be replaced: Outer TCA bushes (poly), suspension top mount bushes (poly), shocks/springs (coilovers)
also will have everything inspected ie ball joints, wheelbearings etc. etc. etc.
