I noticed tonight, 24 hours after install, that a hard right on a very small dip in a driveway causes subtle rubbing on the inner right wheel. I would imagine that the same dip in the opposite direction would cause the same, but I haven't been able to confirm that.

I'm not worried very much as I think it's just the plastic (too dark right now and it's raining -- what's new in the NW?). It only happens at full right turns and when the front flexes slightly. I'm sure it would be worse with a large flex. The only way that I'd hear this is moving at very slow speeds as I'd have bigger things to worry about if I had to steer that hard at higher speeds. Tomorrow I'll check it out again and see if it can be rectified.

Maybe a lift would place the center of the tire a little lower in the wheel well and therefore miss whatever it's touching right now. Still, I'm curious if anyone else come across this?

It turned out to be a rubber splash guard in the front passenger wheel well and one of the plastic pins came loose. The rubber had a bend and was folded outwards protruding about 2-3". It's fine now.
