Thanks all. This was just a bit of rust prevention and undersealing - messy job! Not sure if I’m too handy with the spanner, but these forums have been a treasure trove!

Ha! Thanks silverthorn... I don’t fancy any trimming and am definitely going to go down to 25s all round. Thanks for all the advice - I’ll check bolts, re-check bushings, change the spacers put and get the alignment done. Hopefully that will sort it all out!

Thanks keyser. They’re on Rays and weren’t rubbing for the first 18 months which is why I’m scratching my head (maybe previous owner had the arches rolled?). Which bolt are you referring to? I checked all the bushings when I did the springs and shocks and they looked ok, but appreciate I may have missed something. Now there are 3 things it could be it sounds like an alignment check is the next step.

Thanks Hayd. Does anyone else have any thoughts or back that theory? I’m going to jack her up at the weekend and give the hub a check.

Hi All, I have a conundrum that I can’t figure out and need some expert advice! I got my zed about 2 years ago, 85k miles with standard suspension. It came with 30mm spacers on the front and 40mm spacers on the rear. A bit wide for me, but there was never any rubbing so I have left them until now. A few months ago and about 10k miles since I bought it, I started hearing a faint rubbing from the rear right wheel when going over bumps on the motorway - nothing from the left. I figured the shocks / springs had finally given up so changed to Tein s springs and Bilstein b6s as I know a lot of you on the forum have - I wasn’t interested in significant lowering. Unfortunately the rubbing is still there - still only on the right. As a temp fix I have taken the rear spacers off and it is fine now. I will be changing to narrower spacers but want to fix the underlying issue. Any ideas what the issue could be???

Hi all, I have had my zed a couple of years and still in the honeymoon period! I have a 56 plate... little snap of her up on the ramps from a few weeks back. Ive been using these forums for all sorts over the last couple of years so massive thank you to you all. I’ve come upon my first issue I haven’t been able to find an answer to already so will be posting in the suspension section soon. Harry

Hi Mambo - just sent a PM
