Leon Cupra TDI Drive shaft rubbing?

[Garpusmentus]

Hay peeps,

Got my coilovers fitted at the weekend, nice but not too low just yet as speedbumps on the way to work .

However... I now have a fairly loud turney rubbing noise from the front which gets louder the faster I go, peask at about 75mph.

I thought drive shaft but its not really very low yet so is that still a possibility?

Any other ideas?

Garp: help:

just had a look at the shaft from behaind the wheel, can't see any marks of rubbing, but the tyre is pretty close to the coilover, about a little fingers worth of space?
no idea if thats enought?

spacers??

longer drop links or replace the arb (anti roll bar) will help stop it fouling the drive shafts.

you will have to search for signs of wear and tear, the extra stress might be emphasising a worn bearing.

check the tyre isnt rubbing of the adjustors on the coilover strut

cheers guys,

went down to Jabba, they had a look , could'nt see anything, then James remebered he had swaped the wheels from bacjk to front. Different wear pattern. Thats it ! put the front tyres back on the rear, no noise !!

Bought 2 new tyres for front now happy lovely and quiet.
