I'm finding when I travel and load the trunk at times the tire rubs on the outside. I see this as not acceptable. I was looking at the spring and saw it had adjusters on it. I'm thinking I can raise it just a little to correct the problem. My question is, if I raise it 1/2 inch will that hurt anything. Also I tried to adjust the ride height screws and they wouldn't budge. I even soaked them for 3 days with penetrating oil. still no luck. In fact I've broken 3 sockets. I plan on just replacing the spring if I have to but If anybody Has any suggestions on how to brake them loose it would be appreciated. I would try heating the screws but They are mounted in a carbon fiber spring and I am afraid that would not be good.I measured the body height on the left rear where it is rubbing and it is 1/4 inch lower than the other side. Is it possible the spring is weak on the left side. I don't mind replacing it if it would help but I don't want to spend $500 and it make no difference. Any thoughts?
