yeah.. i had rubbing issues too .. if i were you id move the all the wiring from under the left fender before they get sliced by the tire. that started happening to the wire harness on the left fender of my car .. and started messing up my car by giving me a check engine light and other stuff... the airbag wire on the right fender was starting to get cut too but only got touched until i check it. so yeah .. jus thought id let you know ahead of time before you start encountering some serious problems.

i never asked if the pillowballs were metal... do you know?
Nope I don't think so....is your noise coming from the rear?
