Removing screw in front inner fenders

[Mikeybl]

Hey Guys

I posted this in the lifted suspension forum as well, but thought I may get better results here!


I have leveled my 07 Yukon and put 305/50/20 tires on stock rims with 1/2" spacers. I am rubbing at full lock on the screw that holds the middle of my front inner fender plastic. It is a metal screw not a plastic christmas tree clip.

Can I remove this screw to stop the rubbing, or is it essential?



Thanks!

It looks like you are rubbing on the plastic also and I doubt that screw is going to make much of a difference.

It's the GOD AWFUL noise it makes when at full lock in parking lots that concerns me! Everyone walking past stops and turns to see what I'm grinding!! LOL. It only rubs full lock. Just concerned if I remove the screw, will I have issues at speed?

Is that toward the front or the back of the vehicle?

front! Hence my concern with wind etc.

I do not think it will blow back enough but you might rub the plastic liner more. Take it out and try it, worst case you have to put it back in.

True! Thanks!
