Wheel rubbing '96 850R
Wheel rubbing '96 850R
Okay, guys. I've spent the day trying to change my CV axles, struts, and end links. The CV axle was completely seized in the hub, so we had to bang it out with a hammer. The first end link we put on broke at the bolt, so we could only get one side done. When we got the whole thing assembled again and took a test drive I'm getting really bad wheel rubbing in the well. It happens when I turn to the right (we worked on the passenger side).Thinking we may have trashed the bearing when trying to get the axle out. Anyone have any thoughts?

It is hard to see how a trashed bearing alters steering geometry
More likely a broken upper strut bearing, ball joint, or tie rod end ( inner or outer)
