    Mk2 escort rubbing rear arch.

    Looking for some thoughts. Mk2 escort road rally car started to rub the arch only when turning right. Running 6 inch wheels and did not have any issue for a while. Renewed all bushes on the rear, tramp bars, leaf springs, fitted a panhard rod, new shocks. All tight and torqued correctly underneath. Running single leaf springs, 1" blocks, grp1 bilstein shocks, english axle. Any idea's?

    Run a string line around the car to test for axle location ? ( central to chassis)

    If panhard rod is set in incorrect position ? It may well be working against the leaf springs .
