2001 S430 rear tires are rubbing wheel well
Hi guys,
Just recently I noticed that my rear wheels are rubbing against my rear wheel wells. It only occurs when the car has a bounce on the road. Not sure what it can be, but i was reading some other thread and there is mention of checking the ABC fluid level. Does anyone know where the ABC fluid container is located on the 2001 S430.
The ABC malfuntion light hasnt come on yet, but im a bit concerned as I can hear when the tire is rubbing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx,
Shak

I believe so. The dealer put on 275/40/18 tires. I havent done anything to mod the car. Its all original with the AMG sport pack.
I noticed that this rubbing just started happening.

If you'd have custom wheels i'd say pull the fenders but since everything is stock and mine is airmatic not abc, you should get it diagnosed at dealer (sorry)
