I am getting a tire rub, need help!!!

eliyarbrough · May 23, 2008

My driver's side rear tire has some rub marks on it. It's been there for at least 2 weeks. I just got lucky to remember it while I was @ my mechanic's shop! I have seen 'rolled fenders' on here. I never thought to look @ it though. I wish I would have now! I did a search and it did not help like I was hoping it would. Can someone lead me to where I can read up on it? I saw also something about switching your quad shocks. What is that? I don't even have a clue.

My guy says he can remove that wheel and get a leather hammer and smooth it. I think that's what he said! I even thought I once saw a special tool to do this. I was just hoping one of you maybe can help me out! Thanks in advance!!

I now see that Eastwood Tool for like $250.

it is a very useful tool, but for 250 bucks and may possibly only use it once, it doesn't seem worth it to me.
a place like advanced auto or napa should invest in one and rent it to people. just my 2 pennies.
