Default Weird issue with front end when in reverse...

I noticed today, When im backing up and turning, theres something going on with my front end.

It seems like its either "sliding" or almost like the tire is oblong (oval).
I dont know, its strange and hard to explain.

I have no issues when going forward.

I have 18" up front with 275/35 tires.

any ideas??

Any chance you are rubbing a fender/wheel well?


Most times going forward you will not turn near as sharp.


Is your car lowered?


Just my guess!

Thats also what I was leaning towards. I havent had time to really look at it since i just noticed it today (i only drive my car once or twice a month )

And yes, it is lowered.

I'd say that the tire is rubbing on the inner fender.
