I don't know about you guys, but it looks to me like my wheel is rubbing on my front suspension components! This is my left front. Stock wheels and tires. Anyone else seeing any wear like this?

:eek:

I would expect the tire to rub the anti-sway bar. Are those 15" wheels? If so, then those might be marks from the wheel hitting the calipers.

What's the specs on your wheels? Aftermarket or stock wheels? I'm guessing aftermarket, cuz stock should never rub anything.
 






Looks like you need some wheel spacers.
 






Wheel spacers even if they are stock wheels and tires?
 






If the factory rims rub it seems something must be wrong. Has the sway bar ever been removed?

I agree, something must be sketchy. I'm wondering if my mounts are going bad. I need to climb under there and see if they have fallen apart.
 






I would think the bushings would have to be VERY shot to have a clearance issue. That sway bar doesn't look right to me, but I can't look at my truck for reference since I haven't run a sway bar in over a year. Have you owned it since new?
 






No but I'm sure it was bone stock when I bought it.
