Hi,
I wonder if someone can give advice,

i have a tyre tyre on the front drivers side that slightly rubs on the arch at full lock, yet the passenger side is fine.
The wheel is approx 10mm closer to the arch on the drivers side than passenger side and I've measured between front and back wheels on both sides and they are identical measurements!
Is this a manufacturing fault when the panels were bonded to the chassis or something more sinister ?

What size tires and wheels?

Is it at the front of the arch?

hi, it's only happening on the drivers side and it's very slight the passenger side is fine, the tyres are general grabbers, 225/70

If it's at the front have an alignment shop add more caster. This will move the wheel back.

On my 69 I had a slight rub at full lock on the drivers side. After the shop added more caster to both sides it didn't make contact any more.

Ok thanks for that

I have the same issue on the passenger side! When I pump the tyres up the rub is gone!
Just to be sure check your body mounts so that your front lip is still as it should be and is not sagging!
