Front shocks rubbing on driveshaft

Post by **ericos_bob** » 16 Apr 2011, 08:30

Anyone ever have this problem. I have about a cm or clearance on the left side front shocks and only about a mm on the other side. As a result my lower front shock strut is rubbing on the driveshaft whilst I'm driving. Checked the front end alignment, caster/toe/camber and all is spot on. The shock strut doesn't appear bent. Could it be my front diff need be loosened at the mounts and positioned to bring the right driveshaft forward and clear the shock strut?

Your top wishbone has probably been fitted upside down.

Also have alook at your lower shock mount. Mine was knackered and scored the driveshaft.

This is what mine looked like, new shock sorted problem.
