The only suspect thing seemed to be a bit too much wiggle in the innermost toe arm bushing.

I took the wheel off the other day to inspect things and gently tugged on the suspension bushings with a pry bar.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2004 996 C2 with 8.5 and 11 x19" Champion RG5's, is having issues with the rear suspension on the passenger side. When taking a right hand turn while accelerating at anything above a slow to moderate rate, the passenger rear tire is coming in contact with the fender liner and the strut spring. No issues with the drivers side or while taking left turns. It started out only doing it occationally, now it's pretty consistant. Other than slightly more rapid tire wear on the passenger side, it seems to be driving fine. No funny noises, etc. I took the wheel off the other day to inspect things and gently tugged on the suspension bushings with a pry bar. Nothing seems (at least to me) loose, broken or out of place. The only suspect thing seemed to be a bit too much wiggle in the innermost toe arm bushing. Any ideas or experiences with "typical" wear items or conditions that may cause this?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Discovered the problem via a 4 wheel alignment by a sharp tech. Turns out the transmission mount was totally shot allowing the entire transmission to shift side to side.

POST 3Original post

thanks for the update. i'll be checking mine again. I also have a set of champions that push the limits of clearance. maybe the mounts are as good as I thought.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
