DRM Coil overs, spring rubbing half shaft
 
when I installed I noticed they were VERY close to the half shafts and had to jiggle the springs around to get just a bit of clearance

now that they have worn in a bit they are rubbing the half shaft slightly

does anyone have any tips on how to set these up and adjust them better?

getting just a bit of rubbing and not sure what to do to give more clearance

thanks!

Ron,

I had two Z's do this. I solved the Turbo car's rub by installing new Poly Bushings on the Dog Bones. The old ones were dry-rotted and let them move under power... I suspect my Hawaii Ruby is the same. It just started last week...

Cheers,
Ron H

Most of us have replaced the dog bones altogether and installed heim joints with poly

Ron,

That happened w mine when I re-installed them after doing rear end. Try loosening them up and turning spring so it gives a bit more clearance of half shaft. The springs don't sit symmetrically so you can twist them a bit to give you more clearance.
