So, what’s the metal thingy (sway bar?)
|
Answered your question ;-) Anti sway bar. With stock tirers and Xterrains mine onlyn rubbed on the passenger side. With SSR's they rubbed on both sides, and the frame at back of the front wheel well. Both are width (or backspacing) issues.
My 38's don't rub on the frame or the sway bar, but do rub on the wheel well liner, which is a height issue, (although tire width is having some effect too).
It won't damage the sway bar at all, just give ita shiny spot.
I've had people tell me that theior tires don't rub, but sure enoough they have that sway bar shiny spot. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
It appears that cranking the t-bars will make no difference in the rubbing. It's a width thing with me. Would putting on new rims with different backspacing (Does more backspacing mean the tire is moved further away from the lugs, i.e. widen the stance?) help? It seems that it might to me. Would that make me more likely to rub something else, like the wheel well?
