actually,i've been posted about this issue.
I'm having the problem when i turn the steering to the right.the right wheel will rub on the plastic wheel cover and splash guard.but it's fine on the left wheel.it seem to be more space between tire and plactic wheel cover on the left side.

Finally,i decided to replace the sway bar bushing,trailing arm bushing,front-rear subframe bushing.

everthing seem to be a bit better.the right wheel isn't rubbing the plastic cover anymore. but the wheel is still closed too much to the plastic cover.

my guessing is bended sway bar.has anyone ever got this problem?

I'm worrying about this problem because even i'm running on 205 55 R16 tires.it's still rubbing.what about 18 rims with 225-235 tires....

any idea?

A control arm on the other hand is another story. I'm not saying that's what it is, but it's definately not the cause of a bent sway bar.

here what is my guess....
i see that the end of the sway bar is wearing on the control arm.when i got the bent sway bar so it will be able to pull control arm backward or forward.so the wheel alignment changed.
if anything wrong just let me know..

someone on the forum had that nut come all the way off which caused the wheel to jam into the fender, resulting in body damage.

but i don't think that is real cause.
my thoughts is something misshape.

That was me me me.... In my case it was the knuckle nut from the ball joint.

popdemonic

do you mean control arm ball joint? or tie rod ball joint?
