Front tire Pushing bumper out...Lowered 1 inch any suggestions?

SWiFTA06Si · 03-09-2007, 03:25 PM

Ive had the TEIN 1" lowering springs installed for about 6 months now, and about a couple weeks ago i noticed the front bumper clips on the side were popped out and it seems that the tire is pushing on it when i turn, it ripped right through the screw that mounts into the fender and now it happens almost everyday.... ANYBODY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS YET?????

Yeah dude just take your bumper off... maybe you'll start a new fad! For starters maybe you should put the OEM springs back on.

Sounds like something might be bent.....I have the same springs and am far from rubbing. Are you on stock wheels or aftermarket?
As far as fixing your bumper, make a tab using epoxy and drill a hole for the screw

The wheel offset and tire size should also be considered.
