my passenger side tire and rim are rubbing against my upper arm. I thought it might be a bad ball joint but its still rubbing. Could i have a bad spindle?
Have a friend jack up the car slowly using the frame or body and you watch from underneath in the front to see if the wheel moves weird. Don't do anything stupid - yet. Place a jack stand under the frame and then grab the top and bottom of the wheel and move it in and out. If the ball joins are bad, it will move in and out a lot. Depending on how old the car is, I'll bet on a new lower arm and upper ball joint for both sides are needed anyway. Most likely it's the new rubber and a new set of wheels with a different offset are required.
