2001 Sallen Question

ProJect83 · 06-23-2008, 07:46 PM

Hey all...been a long time since I've been on here but i gotta question for you all. My uncle just bought a 01 Sallen and there seems to be a slight problem with the rear of the car.

It seems as if the wheel wells are taking some small chunks out of the tire when in hard acc. I was wondering if anyone has ever hear of that kind of problem.

The car only has 37,000 miles and is VERY clean so im not sure if the first owner beat the hell out of it, But it seems to me that when its squatting when you hit the gas, its going way to far down and almost like the rear end has some side movement as well.

Anyone hear or know of any problems like that at all? Any help would be helpful. Or could it possibly be that the rear suspension is just shot?

Thanks all...

Can you tell where exactly it's hitting? That's really weird, it shouldn't come anywhere near the tire. What size tire is on it? Did anyone change anything? Do you have any pics of this car, so we can see the ride height?

I"ll see if its smart enough to take pictures for me haha... As far as to where its hitting... It would be on the shoulder of the tire just before the sidewall it self. as far as he knows its all factory, its got 18''s on the back( not sure what size tire). again i'll see if he can email me some pictures.
