rubbing rims - 6/5/2007 7:44:03 PM

I have a 95 gt with stock rims and suspension however when I turn the wheel from side to side the rims rub the backs of the control arms and the all the front of the front sway bar.  I dont think this is right but its been doing it ever since I bought the car.  Also the front suspension seems sloppy when driving slow over a bumpy gravel road the steering wheel has no problem turning from side to side as the car moves over bumps.
Thanks for any suggestions
Nathan

Check out this product review video. http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/stangsuspensionvideo.asp?idproduct=1333

It is for our Mustang Steering Rack Limiter Kit.  This kit will prevent the rubbing.

As far as the sloppy steering...    are the front suspension components all still stock?  Struts, Springs, Control Arm Bushings, misc bushings?  what have you done in that area?

Sincerely,

I will check out the kit.
Are you suggesting tha the rubbing is normal for this car?
Also I put a set of Mcque Norris exterme ball joints in it other than that the front suspension is entirely stock.
Original springs bushings rack tierods and original struts.  100,000 mile car.

What do you think?  When I jack up the front everything seems to be in good shape.

Thanks Nathan

Rubbing can be normal after that many miles.  With fords build tolerances, chassis flexing, springs sagging, etc...  things can just wear over time.  This can cause rubbing issues...
