Hello,
I was hoping that someone might be able to help me figure out what is going on.
I purchased a used 2015 from someone last December. Sometimes, generally at freeway speeds usually when I am turning slightly to the right, it sounds like the front passenger wheel is rubbing on the wheel well. I finally pulled the wheel off last weekend to take a look and saw what look likes to be rub marks on the inside of the wheel well liner.
I also noticed that the wheel well liner had been damaged and the bottom right corner was missing and it had been repaired with some stiff felt that was screwed on (also this left very little clearance for the tire)
It doesn't always happen, and it doesn't seem to happen when I am making a hard turn, just slight turns. Usually it does seem to be if I go over the lane line, again it isn't always only sometimes.
My theories are, one the wheels/tires are too big? They are 21" after market, but that didn't seem like it would be the cause is if it doesn't always happen. The tire is rubbing when it expands due to the heat of high speeds? Is there some self leveling that could be causing it due to the air suspension that it tries to make an adjustment when it senses that I drive over the lane line?
I will try to get a good audio recording of the sound later today and can try to include better pictures later as well.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
