Just picked up a Moke today.

The front left wheel is rubbing/extremely close to the shock.

Comparing sides it's about 10+mm gap on right side and basically 1mm to zero gap on left which rubs as soon as you go around a corner or hit a bump.

Any suggestions.

It's running a disc front end too.

Thanks

Its pretty common for Moke front wheels to rub, usually they rub in the wheel arch. It doesn't happen when the suspension cones are new, but gets worse as they compress.

I'd be looking at why its different from side to side though. It might just bethatthe tyres are different, try swapping the wheels around, but otherwise I think everything probably needs measuring up to see what is different.

One side doesn't have a spacer? and the other does?
