So my gsx was converted to 2wd when I bought it. I finally finished swapping it back to awd and on the passenger side the tire is rubbing on the upper arm. The driver side has little clearance but doesn't rub.

I put new wheel hub assemblies in, and changed the suspension form k-sports to the illumina/pro kit combo. I've got the same 18 inch tires that fit before the swap.

The only thing I can think of is mabye I didn't get the hub assembly bolts tight enough? Has anyone ever had this problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Aaron
 
Just an update - I'm a dumbass and put the parking brake assemblies on the wrong sides during my awd reswap while pulling an all nighter to get it running. Somebody put this tread out of it's misery..
