stone guard question.

Post by gpx000 »

hey guys i have a problem. everytime i turn right the tyres are rubbing against the stone guard only on the left hand side. i dont know why (maybe because of the intake piping) but is there anything i can do to fix it? theres already a hole in it from the rubbing.
any suggestions?

slim chance never seen it happen. Worse case even then is getting stuck on a/c or alt belts minor damage really.

Never had mine on for many years only put on for compliance and then taken straight off

DO NOT take the liner out that is directly parrallel with the belts though as when its wet rain likes to be flicked up into the belts and make them slip!!
