Need Help Just lowered front end problems. grind - 4/11/2008 9:32:12 AM    low_go_91   Posts: 3 Joined: 4/11/2008 Status: offline Hi i am new to this site but i seek some good advice i just lowered my honda with coilovers all around and a front and rear camber kit. the coilovers are bottomed out all around but i had to raise the front slightly so that the tires wouldn't rub but now i have a grinding problem that seems to come in at around 10mph that i need to get firxed its in the front of the car and its nothing rubbing. when i turn the wheels one way or another it seems to get louder on that side so im thinking its something in the wheel bearings but they weren't bad before i had lowered it so my guess is that something is in a bind and maybe i need to keep raising the car until it won't make that noise anymore..anything helps thanks Post #: 1
