I am looking for opinions about my 87 4runner suspension/tire. recently I was in a small accident where 90% of the impact hit my front left tire. I took it to Les Shwab and had my knuckle replaced but when I make a hard right turn i can feel somthing rubing. it only seems to be coming from that tire.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix it?

check the tie rods or upper A-arm to see if the tire hits, could be bumper or valance. not much info to really give a good answer.

I don't think its that. i actually think that i might have something to do with the shocks because when i turn right at 10mph or less it doesn't make any noise but if i go over that it starts to make noise. also when i hit a speed bump of a pot hole it makes a rattle.

do you think that could be it?

Ok you had an accident with this side and you had a knuckle replaced! like the ball joints are all good and the bushings are good!?!?! sounds ike there should have been a few more parts replaced to me!!

Any how It really kinda sounds like the top of the tire is rubbing since It is the left one right? and this would tell me that the tire is leaning away toward the fender!
uppre ball joint maybe uh aframe has a broken bolt maybe more info would definitely bring better results!!!

yeah they replaced the bushings and i had the bearings repacked and had the tires rotated however, i didnt have the breaks checked and i just found out that the rattle is from my left side break so that leads me to think that the problem my be something with that break.
