Front tires rubbing inside in tight turns Options

195/65/15 Stock Fuchs. Turning radius restricted. Just parking, and U-turns. Would a 1/2" wheel spacer help?

It looks like your upper camber plate bushings are worn???

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) With both Geezer and SirAndy - upper mounts don’t look right.

There is supposed to be a metal sleeve in the center of the bushing. Almost looks as if you may be lacking that metal sleeve and it’s allowing a lot of movement of the strut rod.

Oh wow! If that is the case, that will fix many issues. I will see if I can order a stainless steel pipe of the right dimensions. Thanks, guys!

Here is a picture with the nut off. I'm going to look for pictures to compare.

Little hard to tell from the picture but I think it is there (red arrow)

You can double check by sticking a magnet to the inner part of the bushing assuming it it’s there like it appears.

Good to verify it like you are though - sure looks a little wonky in the initial pictures that the guys commented on.

Once you put the washer and but back on verify there is no slop.

You mentioned 185s. What aspect ratio of 185s would you recommend. I currently have 195/65R15 on my wheels currently.
