![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Ok ill try to keep this short, I was in a accident in september and had some work done on my car as far as suspension be replaced they replaced, driver side air shock,control arm, stabalizer link and a few other things that i can't think of at the moment. But this is my dilema
my car was as low as it was in the link i have below before the accident and i had no issues as far as rubbing. Now when i drive up a slight incline while turning in to a drive way or what have you. Going 15 mph or more now there rubbing and tearing up my tires and fenders are bent. What do i do ???
. I went to the dealer yesterday to get the cars height recalibrated and that did'nt help at all. Do i need to raise the car maybe a half inch or so? Has anybody here ever have the same problem as this? Any information would be helpful thanks in advance.
