here's a picture of the front right "pinch welds"

http://i59.tinypic.com/ru2p35.jpg
yes it's dirty b/c it rained yesterday

you can see that it has been slightly bent inward.
it happens almost all the time when I turned to the right

I was just curious if anyone would really get rid of the pinch welds just to lower their car even more, what made me think of it is because my there's still 1.5" more to lower my car; I wouldn't do that, of course.
To me it is the lowest part of my car so,
Time to raise my car a bit more :angel:

if your front right pinch welds rub when you turn RIGHT, then you have a serious problem because all your weight should be shifting to the left side... :ponder:


dang. beat me to it!!

Did you take into account the weight of the car on one side when lowering the car? The driver side has more weight on its side than the passenger side. Steering rack, the driver ect. Therefore you can't just lower all four corners equally or the driver side will lean more than the passenger side. Understand?

Nevermind, since I raised my car a bit there was no problem at all.
Thanks for the input though

That's 100% for sure not what's scraping. Idk if you're trolling or not. You're likely rubbing tire against fender liner tabs.

Your pinch weld for sure does not look like its been dragged. A piece of metal that gets dragged on the road with a 2800lb car on top of it doesn't just slightly get bent in.

It's not your issue. If that scraped, the sound you'd describe is "the world sounded like it was ending", not "scraping/grinding".

Your car is low enough that it scrapes. Your mission is accomplished.
