Levi Peterson Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Questions: -When I look at my front suspension, I see that my upper control arm seems to poke out pretty far.. If I lower my car at all from stock height will that control arm stop me from lowering it? Like will any rub happen? -ABS light is on, the sensors are fine. We are checking the wheel bearings tomorrow, any other things we could check while we are out there? -Best way to color match the paint on my car? I'm repairing a little rusty fender and I would like to know if anyone has tips or anything useful. Location: New York. -Steering wheel is leaning and seems to pull to the right on the road. I looked at the passenger control arm/balljoint and when I pulled on that bar that connects there(Cant remember the name so Im gonna say bar) It can slightly move around.. Could that be a cause? -Any tips for wheel size and stretch tire look sizes would be great! Let me know what is on your car. I want either 17-18in rims. Thanks!

airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Control arm shouldn't hit anything. Sounds like with your steering problem you need to look over all of your sus arms and replace any bad bushings. Did you check the fuse for your ABS? Can you activate ABS while driving? After you check all your bushings and replace any bad ones make sure you get an alignment. If you're going to lower the car at all, make sure to get the car aligned after you do that. As far as paint goes, depends what your budget is. If you're looking for a cheap solution, duplicolor should have a color to match. Most auto parts stores will carry it, or you can look online. I hate stretched tires so I can't help you with that one. Check out this website for some information on wheel/tire sizes and offsets. http://www.willtheyfit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Peterson Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ok thanks! I replaces the Upper ball joint today, it was totally rusted out. I need an alignment and my tranny is slipping. But other then that everythings fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Peterson Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 My dad came in while I was replying and he said I was a Dumb*ss for asking some of those questions.. Lol, do you think its better safe then sorry or does a common sense factor play in some of those questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 if you lower it to a certain extent, you may hit the strut tower. axle tone rings could be dirty. inner/outer tie rods i dont answer tire stretch questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
