Outter tie rod rubbing inner lip of driver rim

billyfrancis40 · Mar 16, 2024

Well I changed out struts ,outter tie rods, ball joint and upper control arms and now when I turn the wheel to the right almost all the way it rubs the inner wheel what would cause this if any one has had this issue before thanks

Did you buy both upper control arms at the same time ? Were they labeled Right/Left side, or just by part number ? Are you certain you put the correct upper control arm on the correct side ? Did you compare them with the old one you took off ?

Yes the control arms are in the correct side in only put the drive side tie rod on couldn’t get the passenger side off so I’ll look tomarrow to make sure the tie rods are on correct sides

Well looking at it I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter which side goes were with the tie rod so I’m not sure maybe my alignment is just off

Did you count the threads? Wait a sec, did you change out the control arms and ball joints as well as the tie rod end? Ya really ought to do a front end alignment.

No I’m a idiot I had them on wrong side

billyfrancis40 · Mar 17, 2024

All good now but yes I do need a alignment for sure steering wheel isn’t even anymore thanks

Nice to find a simple solution. I'll have to watch for that, need to replace my front end wear items in the near future
