Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a 2006 LR3 and noticed when I turn sharply in reverse my right front tire is rubbing. Could someone tell me if the part of the frame in the attached photo is supposed to stick out as in the photo? I noticed on the left front it is flush.

Thanks in advance

I'm and idiot and should look better at pictures listen to the gent below.

 

The poms call that the chassis horn and trim it back when fitting larger rubber, what size rims and tyres are you running ?

 

If 2006 that should be a bolt on part. Did you do the logical thing and compare sides to see if one seems bent? I doubt they could even bend though, so my guess would indeed be oversized tires since I dont think the alignment can be so out of spec on these that there would be rubbing.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Interesting! I am not sure how that would be trimmed. I am running 275 /65 R18.

 

No worries. Thanks for replying.

 

It definitely looks like a bolt-on part. I did compare it to the driver side and it is flush, so it possible it was bent from a previous owner as I have not taken it off-road yet.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Be glad its bolt on, later years they were not. So if you have to modify if, its easy to do. I am not sure why that part is even there, I think it incase of catastrophic wheel failure/accident. Maybe keeps the wheel from going into the body. So you may be able to remove em and leave them off.

 

It's not attached to the body only the frame. I was guessing it was some type of side impact protection. Thanks again for the reply.

 

By angle grinder mostly.
