    urgent(wheel movement problem)

    I have a problem with my rear beam i think.

    firstly' when driving the rear wheel has pushed forward and somehow touched the front end of the rear arch(where the side skirt wraps around the rear inside arch) this has taken the paint of the side skirt that wraps inside the rear arch!

    Anyhow. on a nova beam the actual beam moves in a arc shape.
    so could this be due to bushes?

    Wheel alignment seems fine(as in not sticking out from car ect
    only problem u can tell is when cars lowerd onto the ground the gap between the tyre and the front of the arch is different
    theres alot more space on the passenger side than the drivers.
    i can get me hand between tyre and arch on passenger
    drivers side i can just get me hand in at a squeeze!

    any ideas would be great. im sure the rear beam is fine. just hoping this is a bush problem at the most

    its gotta be sorted or its gonna either knacker up body work or knacker up me tyre.!!!!!! it catches on most heavy bumps now hence the car is parked up now and not being used..

    help please
    cheers

    At best a knackered bush

    At worst.....you don't want to know

    Just double check all the nuts and bolts are tight

    Only time I've seen this is when a axle mounting point had torn out the floor but that was after a biggy bang smash.
