What caused the tire well to get messed up. That is pretty high off the ground to hit something. Is it just scraped or is it dented in.
Yeh, it turns out it was poor rubber quailty. I crawled under the car, and you can see that the boot is cracked....love it! The other appears to have slipped off, so I added in grease and put a worm clamp on it to keep it on...It is just scrapped, small dented....it was caused by the damn driveways going into gas stations and stores...
