Hey everyone - I just picked up my second Fox, a 1989 GT hatch, and have a problem. This car is virtually new and totally original. It has never been modded in any way and that's why this problem is confusing, as the car is dead stock.
Here's the problem - when backing up, if you turn the wheel far to the right, there is a rubbing noise. I've isolated it to the front of the tire rubbing on the inner part of the front factory skirt. You can actually see where the paint has rubbed off when you look inside. This is very annoying and I can't imagine this was the way the car was intended to be built.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, similar experiences with a fix? I'm stumped. I should add that there is no rubbing when turning the wheel to the left in reverse, nor is there any rubbing when going forward turning either way.
