Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
I have a 2002 DS and I heard a rubbing sound yesterday. When I looked at the front wheels I noticed that there is no clearance between the bottom of the leaf spring and the wheel rim on the front drivers side.. The wheel on the other side has about 1/4in clearance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bill in The Villages FL |

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
Sounds like you may have had a bolt come lose somewhere or camber is way off. Pictures help.

Check your wheel bearings.

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
bushing look blown out. That could cause it to drop a little and rub.
maybe? |

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
Could be both suggestions but it also looks like the spring eye bushings are toast.

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
I would bet spring bushings also.

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
Yup, that's the bushing. Do both sides while your at it. Other side has got to be close as well

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered a new bushing kit on Amazon.

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
Had this exact problem and it turned out to be a loose bolt on the suspension. You might want to check.

Re: Front wheel rim rubbing on leaf spring
Thanks, I'll check all of the nuts and bolts when I change the bushings.
