With my old tires I would occasionally "bottom out" when going over a dip at
higher speeds. It was so seldom that I didn't worry about it. Now, with my
new Goodyear Triple-Treads, it happens much too often....bumps, dips, extra
weight in the car. What's happening is that the bottom of the coil spring
assembly is rubbing the inside tread of the tire. Even though I bought the
same size as what I had, the tire seems a little wider, plus the fact that
there's more new tread now. I should also mention that they're aftermarket
wheels, and I don't know what their offset is. So.....what's going on?
Worn Struts? Can I buy some type of bracket/spacer to get more clearance?
Maybe some type of wheel spacer to move the wheel/tire out farther? I
looked at some lift kits that spread out the spring coils, but I don't think
that will help any since it's the bottom of the spring that's hitting the
tire. Any ideas??????
TIA,
Rick
