Hey guys I have a weird problem. I have 275 tires in the back. Quadshock is still on. Clears it by alittle less then an inch. For a year now ive had these wheels and tires on there, it never touched the quadshock. Went on vacation for a week. Came back yesterday drove the car and when i turned left while going like 50mph on a long curve, the wheel was jerking right by itself, I noticed it was weird, thought maybe its time for an alighnment. Now today I drive around alot maybe 20 miles to best buy, on my way home, I leave parking lot pretty fast, and i notice a squeaking noise, and a strong burnt smell. I come up to a light everything seems fine, so i decide to have fun give it a nice launch, and the car DIPS HARD to the back right, and the whole car jerks sidewyas alittle, something the car usually does when its launched hard, loses traction and goes sideways but I notice the dips was very hard. And usually in 1st-2nd gear now I hear the squeaking. Then I come up to another light, I leave in first like I would any other time, slow and easy and the car dips HARD again and the front lifted up pretty hard, I realised something has to be wrong with my suspension, so I drive very slowly home, everything works fine, drives perfect except that noise and the occational pull to the right and the strong smell of burning rubber.
So I get home, look under my car check the lower control arm, axle, everything lookse fine and strong dosent move. I look at the quadshock, and the outside part has melted rubber to it, and my tire is sticky and melted on the inside. Obviously the tire was rubbing against the quadshock. I tried moving eerything see if it would budge just alittle, but nothing moved everything seems strong, and still had the less then an inch of clearance. So whats wrong? how can it be that after a year of driving on these tires pefrect it all of a sudden starts to rub on the quadshock? Is something bent? I didnt hit the car no hard bumps, nothing. The torque boxes looked fine but i couldnt see much with the wheel on. Im going to take the wheel off and take off the quadshock tomorrow, see if i can find anything, and its ONLY the back passenger side wheel, driver side is perfect stil.. Any guesses please?
