Front wheel clearance help

smythge said
I have only had the car a couple months and it had new tires when I got it. So I am not sure how the old tires were worn. I just replaced all 4 shocks on the car and the rear had air shock on it, so when I put the gas shocks on it the rear tires were rubbing on the fender. So I figured I would swap the front and rear tires and check for clearance, that is when I noticed the front passenger tire was hitting the front fender. I know I am getting new front tires 185/65r15 which will solve and clearance issues, but I would like to figure out and fix the problem. I do have the lower control arm struts and will check the measurement are they adjustable? I don't see any damage to anything and the fender is straight.

Smythge, they are tightened from the front (the large bolts). If they at least look good and straight they could be fine. Did you jack up the car a check all your jounts? Perhaps all you need is a alingment, but out a inch sounds like a lot. If you can't find a problems at all, it would be an idea to get it checked out. (mine in CND only cost 50.00)
