Tires Rubbing..2002 9 3
New Tires...did not make this problem go away..I have the spec 205/55/r16 tires on this car ..I have some serious rubbing going on ...all tires look to have clearance the but the front right is clearing by less than an inch in park when the wheel is turned...need some reccomendations on how to address this...
thanks

should just be taking off the axle nut (replace with a new one) remove caliper,remove disk from hub,remove hub(shuld be 4 12or10mm bolts holding hub to knuckle
ive never had to use anything beside sockets,allens,prybar,opened end wrenches,jack and stands

the bad hub/bearing wont cause clearance issues it will make the car shake at speeds above 55mph and make a clicking noise when turning or put it in reverse hit let it roll back and press the brake it will usually make a clunk noise like you backed into a kid

wheel bearing
thanx for the response...got tires aligned they said it was definitely front wheel bearing causing the "rubbing sound" the shop said the dealer needed to replace...tool issue..your making it sound pretty simple
