Hi, due to a crappy repair job about 20 years ago, when I put Riviera's on my 70 Ghia, stock IRS suspension, the left rear rubs when turning. A body shop said no to rolling or pulling because of bondo. There is about a paper towel width of space.
I was told I could get away with shaving 3/16 off the rear face of the hub. Has anyone done this?
Thanks Kent
