I have a 67 Mustang that I recently put 1" lowering springs from NPD on. I have Cragar S/S 15X7's w/4.25 bacspacing and 225/60 BFG's.
Love the way the car looks, but I'm getting a rub right in the middle of the left wheel well when I turn hard right, but only if the suspension dips while turning.
The left side of the car is about 1/2" lower than the right, so I don't have the problem on the right.
The fender is already rolled pretty good right there, and I don't see how rolling it further will help, since it only happens when the tire is turned hard to the right and it hits right in the middle of the arch.
I can't think of anyway to raise the left side a 1/2", and I don't want to go back to stock ride height.
Anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? I have a feeling I might have to live with it.
I'm also considering putting on a 1" sway bar but can't imagine that will cure the problem, but it might make it better-I hope?
Thanks!

My aftermarket front anti-roll bar holds alot of pressure and raised the car abit after installation. I can see the car dipping a little on one side of some end link hardware starts to wear or the bar gets tweaked. If all looks even from side to side, maybe you could insert an extra washer or two as a temporary way to raise one side of the car.

Find a common point on the inner fenders and measure out to the fender. You're measuring the width of the wheel well area. It's possible that the left fender is closer to the inner fender than the right.Tracy
