I'll post in my thread soon.

On both our cars, William and I rolled fenders and cut some fender lining plastic to help fit the spacers/lessen the scraping.

Rolled fenders with JohnRando. Eliminated his rubbing and put my 15mm spacers on.

With Rando in the back I could get it to rub slightly by cornering hard over a bump but nothing with typical driving.

Did my front wheel hub/bearings today. Surprisingly easy job. The hardest part of the whole thing was tapping on the rear dust shield. Other than that, once the hub assembly finally slides on (it'll take some very hard whacks), it just taps on very easily.

The odd part was that my front left wheel bearing looked perfect, though was loose, while my front right wheel bearing was in the worst condition. The hub nut came off with surprisingly little effort, which was concerning. It was easier to take off than my wheel lugs. Someone was there before at some point, as the nut was peened twice. In addition, the nut was rusted to all hell and back. Glad I replaced all of that and torqued everything down to the proper spec.

Also, vote for Rando as the best last name on the forum.

Interested to know how you diagnosed for this. Symptoms? I have some front end noise, I'm hoping it's the tires (old)-- I think.

I too stopped and the local dealer to check out what was on the lot. Need to figure out an X3 replacement by February. Hmm.....


iPhone 5S. Tapatalk Pro. BOOM

X3 a lease? Whats the buyout on it? I might be interested in taking it off of your hands if its as mint as your ZHP and loaded up the right way...

Drove mine to work, bathed her, dried her off, went to start on the clay and realized it was at the house (****). Waxed the glass, taillights, headlights, side markers and spot waxed areas that needed some extra attention. Removed roof rack, cleaned out the trunk. Raised the back end up to check the diff's rear cover bolts which were unfortunately still tight this time (diff is leaking, cleaned it up a few months back and found most of the rear cover bolts loose). Then while looking over the car for more trouble spots on the paint counted more than 10 door dings...

Yes, I said more than 10...

The car made it through the first 10 years of its life with NO dings, and in the past 6 months has accumulated more than 10. It just doesn't make sense. I park in a garage at home (backwards hugging the wall), I park in a garage at school (at the end of a level at the end of a row) and 16 of the 20 days (in a 4 week repeating schedule) I park in a garage at work (with no one here). We take the Honda to the mall, the grocery store, out of town on trips and etc. Surely someone isn't doing this on purpose, right?

Totally killed my car buzz for the night, but here are some pics before I got pissed and walked away.

Shame about the dents. Hopefully pdr can be successful but you shouldn't have to do it in the first place
