Driver side Wheel Rub

[Deorseyzr2HD]

have a 24 HD zr2.
Whenever I reverse and turn, either direction, my front wheel is catching the stock wheel liner.
I have the stock tires/rims. Is this happening to anyone else?

Nope...not with stock rims and tires.

I’d look closely to see if the wheel liner is “deformed” vs the passenger side.

I think I remember reading about someone else having the same problem with a 2500, I don’t remember the resolution though. I would recommend the search bar.

Yup! mine too in reverse while Turning. all stock

It might be out if square and need suspension adjusted. I would check your height of the front end vs the rear. Measure from the bottom of fender to the ground at all our corners on flat even concrete. The heights should be the same on the front fenders and the same on the rear. Front will be lower by about 1 to 2 inches.

If you raise the front a little, it'll pull the tire further from the rear of the wheel well. Depends how bad the rub is.

You can crank the torsion bars to raise the front some and get it close to level with rear. I have a thread posting the process and measurements for mine.

Right on I will check that out. Appreciate it

You're not supposed to turn when backing up...just stay straight.

I'm going to have the dealership fix it. it keeps getting worse every time the tire grabs it. if it wasn't under warranty id just try a heat gun to reshape it. I can almost do it by hand.

If you want to measure height shouldn't you start at the bottom of the wheel not the ground? That takes tire pressure out of the equation.
