supra_aero Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Since getting my car lowered (changed the springs), I have noticed a brushing sound on acceleration. I didn't think much of it at first but with time its getting louder (possibly worse). There is plenty of clearance so no idea what it could be. Had it checked but no-one knows what it is. Does anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The rear will squat under acceleration, how much clearance is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 What size wheels and tyres do you have. Could it be since lowering the cambre and 4 wheel alignment is out and that could cause the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 17" is the wheels. I haven't done tracking since as was planning on putting larger wheels on so didn't see point in doing it twice. Not sure what tyres (will check when home). Its not stupidly low, at least an inch in clearance I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hmmm i'll get it looked at when I do tracking. Hope its nothing too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Keep an eye on your tyre wear. Especially the insides. Just to be on the safe side:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
