A slight rubbing sound behind the drivers seat?

[JB in Alabama]

just noticed a slight rubbing sound behind the drivers seat....its mostly when i go over a rise in the road......any ideas?
Nothing is obvious looking in the wheelwell or under the car!
Maybe I'm being a little picky but it feels almost like the tire hits the wheelwell
anyway, What a blast to drive!
Thanks, JB

That's probably what's happening. I increased my tire size due to the fact that the original size is no longer in production. I'm having my rear shocks replaced with an adjustable set so my ride height can be raised. It drives me nuts in a hard corner, especially with a full tank of gas (thougth that doesn't last long!)

hi John
You can raise the rear of the car with the spanners i sent with the car. If you hit a fairly high rise in the road with two people and a full tank of gas i guess it might rub, but i dont remmeber having it happen unless it was either a large pot hole or man hole cover which i always tried to miss. Call me if you need info how to raise the rear end up.

The other thing it might be is rubbing the spring. If it has happened a number of times you should be able to see the rub mark. If you can't get a dry-erase marker (like a green or red) and mark the inner fender lip area and the spring. Go for a "fun" drive and re-inspect to see where the marker has rubbed off.

Have you had your car 4-wheeled aligned?

An occasional rub on the inside is not too concerning, make sure it is not the outside part of the body as that might cause paint to fail.
