when the car is park in place i can turn the wheel far left or far right and not rub at all.. but sometimes when I enter a driveway or go over a speed bump Im not sure if the sound is from a scrape or if sounds like rubbing.. But thats the only 2 things that could occur right?
Because I don't think i should be scraping at 1.5 inch drop.. I go at a angle when entering driveways / speedbumps... I'm not so noob to the point where i drop directly staright up a bump or driveway
But If i only hear whatever i hear "most likely rubbing" when entering a driveway or going over a speedbump or taking a turn aggressively, is it going to ruin my car from rubbing?

Quick question can you scrape or rub against the top of your fender or any part of your fender when going over a speed bump or drive way or driving really fast on the freeway?

2. yes.. but like i said before.. check those plastic guards or whatever they care called under ther bumper.. they come done about a inch.. sure thats whats rubbing.

4. no... unless you do something to pull the bumper down.
Don't worry about it too much... you're fine. Just drive easy... its a lexus, not a race car
