Ball joints. They're so sloppy and loose that they'll pop and bang under certain conditions.

Tire finally rubbed through the chassis harness and now I have no headlights.

I think I'll reduce the amount of the castor I'm running. Might have to raise the car a tad too.

re tuck the harness dan, im way lower and i dont touch mine. i didnt even extend any wiring.

Aron, if the coils are all tight then look elsewhere, like everyone else is suggesting, its probably another control arm bushing, or ball joint that has taken a shit

I've already re-routed the harness. It only rubs when I turn the wheel. Low offset with lots of castor and wide tires means when I turn the wheel to the right the edge of the tire rubs the harness where it goes through the fire wall. I have to make a skid plate or something.

My right wheel rubs the firewall at full lock as well.

Exactly but even with a plate it still rubs and causes steering issues. I want it to go away completely. I also need to smash the fenders a bit, tire rubs pretty bad there too. It dosnt have problems through a corner though thanks to the wheel cambering inward. Its just when I'm backing out of the driveway or parking spots that it happens.

The biggest reason is the castor. I'm running 7.5* which pushes the wheel back pretty car into the wheel well.

I drove mine out to walmart to chill with some people last night. Oil still leaking all over the place, but Im too lazy to fix it.

I need to adjust my coils now that I have my FNs on the back.
