i recently replaced my rear tires on my 8 ( were going bald in middle.) i replaced them with stock size 225/45/18. i notice lately that every once in awhile when im turning i hear/feel a rubbing or grinding sound on my right rear tire(passenger). im planning on lowering it on koni/tenabe gf210 springs. then XXR 527s 18x8.5 later down the road.

any help i would appreciate it

Most likely your spring/shock is worn out/blown.

Does the grinding sound only happen when turning? Does it also make the sound with the brakes on and off?

2004mazdaATL

yes only happens when turning. no noise with brakes.

So it doesn't happen when turning under braking?

2004mazdaATL

oh ok. yes sometimes im gonna try and take it for a shop to get it looked at today or tomarrow.

you need to get someone to look in there. could be a wheel bearing, or it could be as simple as a tree branch

You lost me. Please clearly define the issue and provide as much detail as possible. The quality of advice you will receive is directly proportional to the quality of description you provide.

use a torque wrench and verify that your lugs have at least 105 lbs of foot pressure. There's a TSB on it.

If they already are then what EricB said.
