After you lower your xD

[Miss_Deviant]

ive had my xD lowered now for like 2 months..on TEINS... 2 inches.
now it sounds like it makes a rubbing noise when i turn my steering wheel. has anyone else experienced that? just thought id ask!

[Krzd1]

Is it rubbing the splash guard in the wells? Might be rubbing since the springs settled.

[Miss_Deviant]

no its more like in the middle front end..no rubbage..or atleast i dont think so, ive got 18s on it.

[fadetoblack66]

i experience that sometimes with my TRD springs( w/bolt on spring compressor).
do you mind if i ask for some pics of your dropped xD? Im thinking about getting the teins but i wanna see how low would it be at the back. thanks

I have had my wifes car dropped 2 inches on Eibach springs for a while now and never heard a peep out of the front end. She has 17's.

I didn't have that till my splash guard got ripped off by a DEEEEEEEP crevice between a road and a parking lot. I'm on Progress springs (2" drop).

[XD2O]

Well I have no rubbing issues, but I run TRDs and 17's...

If you get under and take a good look inside your wheel wells and at your tires it should be apparent where they are rubbing if they are.

I'm on DF210s and I've got no problems at all... I'm even tuckin' in the rear from the weight of the system.

Maybe you need to have your rack/power steering system looked at...

[mmmgawa]

I don't think it is the "rack" or "power steering" as it is just an electric motor on the steering column under the dash. Does this noise happen very consistantly when steering in both directions? does it only happen with the wheel at full turn or just a specific point in the turn? If the sound is coming from the middle of your car I would suspect the plastic inner fenders as well. How much clearance do you have from tire to fender? If there is less than a couple of fingers you may be rubbing the fender.

im on tein s springs, 2 inch drop, no noises at all, front is really dropped but the back still looks the same lol just a little bit lowered

[katchkillah]

also what size tires you running? i'm on 18's and dropped more then 2" front and rear also running kinda wider then the normal folks and i've had no rubbing issues.

HI AMANDA I have been dropped a little after I met you and I have a rubbing issue on the lef tire, only on hard turns, I already had a big ass hole on the splash guard after I didn't istall the splash guard right when I did my CAI. When I got my tires taken off I looked and it rubs on the inside part of the splash guard, I haven't seen any damage to my tire so I am hoping its plastic.
