Standard ibiza 15'' alloys catching body

[vngtx]

when i turn steering full lock i can hear the tyres scrubbing against the the wheel arch/chassis on the insides. i have completely standard suspension, is this normal?

 

[orangemuffin]

no.

 

[vngtx]

what size are the tyres meant to be?

185/55/15 i think, to be honest i reckon its your monkey under your bonnet or badger in the wheel arch again.

u mean half a badger? the rest is still on the road. ive got 185/55/r15s on. i bet the previous owner has hit kerb and bent bottom arm.

Maybe, your car would handle like shite if they had. Take the wheel off and see where its dragging.

when i pull into parking spaces with full left lock it feels something is making the offside wheel bounce.

****ed cv joint might cause that.

just on a seperate note, reading a similar thread to mine for engine rattle, how many heatshields are there between the engine and center pipe?

bloody badger...dude, if it was my car, id seriously have a think if i wanted to keep it or not....its not sounding the greatest buy

im trying not to put too much money into it at moment till i get a good look underneath. when MOT runs out ill be breaking it if it hasnt already died, then onto the 16v
