Some Questions

[98mgalant]

1) My check engine light keeps coming on and Autozone and Advanced say that it is gas cap but I bought a new one and it is still coming on. It smells like gas sometimes when I get out. The car is running fine. Does anyone know any trouble shooting or have any idea what it is?


2) By back wheel rubs the mount for the rear bumper sometimes when I hit a bump. Is there any way to move it or delete it? I filed it down some and that helped before I lowered it.

there might be a leak anywhere in the evap system.

see if it builds pressure in the tank after some time. if not you should inspect the line that comes from the tank and goes to the evap canister. after it goes to the canister, it goes thru a solenoid to the throttle body. the evap line is usually made of metal and comes out somewhere around the firewall. inspect all lines. the canister is behind the bumper on the pass. side. the solenoid is behind the fuel rail

you need to take a pic of where it rubs

here are some pics




I cant get my camera in there very good.

it looks like you a bit too low in the back with this much wheel offset or taller tires

[kolio]

what are the wheel and tire specs? are you running any camber?

[98mgalant]

The tires are 225/40/17 I'm probably not runing that much camber I just got alignment.

[kolio]

its' prob your offset on the wheels. even with alot of weight in the back i don't rub there.

mine aree 215/45/17 +40mm offset

Well the check engine light just went off some time today. I didn't notice it until it got dark outside. I will probably mess with that bumper mount this weekend. If I do and I find a good salution I will post it up for anyone with this problem in the future. Thanks for your help guys.

mine rubbed from being slammed with 225 tires, 215s didnt rub i was even lower in back tho and they were 225/45/17. y not just raise the back a half inch?

[98mgalant]

I will probably raise it for winter but I like the way it sits so I want to keep it there. It's not all that low in the rear. If I go any higher then I will be almost stock.

you might be forced to run a little camber then. or hope you can push it out of the way

Ya I have school the rest of the week but I plan on puting the steelies on for winter this weekend so I will look at it then. Stupid question but how do you adjust rear camber?

[mko]

with a camber kit

[Galanttuner10]

is it rubbing the top of the tire or just the sidewall? could be the offset of the wheels or the 225s as i had 215 and was slammed and didnt rub.. i swear i might have sit lower even as well

throwback pics!!!

I figured out that the mount for the bumper wasnt what I was hearing rub. My tire is shot. I dont know what to do. Does anyone know how to fix it. I know that its not the offset because it does it on the stock steelies. I rased it up so I dont go though my tires.




This sucks.

[mko]

most def negative camber. get a camber kit and fix this

[mko]

Bigger wheels and wider tires require less camber correction so when you put the steelies back on and there your tires go

[98mgalant]

How long would you trust the DIY camber kit? Is it a perminant fix of temporary?

[mko]

The DIY kit will most likely work with your aftermarket wheels because they are bigger and wider, but it wont do much for the steelies

I sent the seller a message and asked if they had all the hardware. Are these worth buying without it? How do they work? I have a genral idea.
