Hello. Last week or so I chimed in on a thread about Bilstein's adjustable perch. The consensus was to start on the 3rd level from the bottom.
I did, however, the driver's side tire still rubbed on the quarter panel lip, however, did not on the passenger side (close, but still). Today I moved the perch up to the 5-tier and the tire is still rubbing on the lip - on the passenger side much better clearance. I did note that the driver's side wheel sits out further than the passenger side and all other wheels. I took a look at the CV joints to see if there was a difference between side, however, did not see anything that would make me think it would be the CV joints. I inspected the A-arm and it appears to be solid, no signs of rust or break(s). Can someone throw some ideas out at me. I drove this car out from California in 2002 / 2003 and didn't have this problem. I initially suspected the CV joints because when we did the rebuild the CV were removed and reinstalled. I will get some pictures so you guys can see exactly what I am talking about. thanks, Fern |

I gotta go with Brant or Bullit. Either the tech stripped it out/didn't tighten it and said it didn't need alignment thereby taking himself out of the circle of blame or it's a rust issue.
