[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1041053, member: 67547"] First gen 2001-05? Is the tire rubbing the fender liner, sway bar, or both? Alignment checked? If Gen 1 it's not real common, but I'd guess a weakened drivers side torsion bar or misaligned torsion screw in the key dimple. Were the screws ever adjusted for ride height? Shocks will have little or no effect on height. May be able to compensate by tightening the driver side screw, but mark the screws and measure a point from the lower control arm to the ground before any height adjustments are made. Find a shop that offers free alignment checks right after. PITA, but highly recommend lifting the tires off the ground before adjusting and jounce the front by driving over bumps to settle. [/QUOTE]
