damnit. Something is aligned wrong... My new fender is rubbing into my tire. It already took off a small portion of paint at the one edge/corner thing.
My driver's side doesnt hit there at all.
The passenger side didnt do that before it was backed into.... I know it did afterwards with the dented fender...
The only time I've ever had rubbing issues was when I had 195/65/15 snow tires on and the front struts were bad. I think thats what caused the driver's side fender rust as there are no marks or gouges in these 16 inch tires.
That and the m103 needs a tune up. Its been AT LEAST 18,000 miles since the last one. 18,000 miles ago was when the 3L m103 was put in..so add how ever old the plugs/rotor/cap were on that to the 18,000...
Tune up parts ordered, $100..
EDIT: The 3L was installed at 213K..So its been 24,000 miles since THAT point..how old the cap/rotor/plugs were on the 3L when it was installed? No idea.
