Rubbing noise when turning right

Post by ragingfish »

So as I was leaving work last night, I backed outta my spot to the right, and heard what sounded like something big and heavy rolling in the back of the car. Now I knew I didn't have anything back there, so I decided to ignore it. Then when I made ANOTHER right turn, I heard it again, but this time, I figured it was coming from the front right of the car. So I KNEW something was wrong. I got out and looked, and sure enough, somehow, the plastic fender liner got pulled out, and was rubbing the tire. NO CLUE how this happened. I can't seem to get it back in either, so I guess that means another trip to the dealer.BAH!

Got a lot of snow, or drove over a lot of snow? It can knock that inner fender free. Experiencing a road kill incident will also do that lol.
