[Healeys] Rear End Alignment

[Ronald J. Ray]

I have a possible similar problem with my BT7.

When I make a hard/fast right hand turn (which seems to be describe most
turns I make), it sounds like something is rubbing at the right rear tire
area.  It is clearly a rotating type sound, which goes away once the car is
moving in a straight forward direction again.

I've removed the brake drum and upon inspection every thing seemed to be
fine.
All bearings and bushings related to the rear suspension and axle are new
within 3 years.
The tires are 165, so not oversized at al.  And there are no signs of the
inner tire rubbing on anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Ron Ray

Folks,

When I make a hard left turn, my right rear tire rubs against the bolts
securing the rebound bumper box (on the inside of the wheel well).   I'm
running Vredestein Sprint Classic 185/70R15 tires--a bit oversized but not
outrageous.  Anyway, it appears the rear axle is skewed towards the driver's
side.

I don't suppose there's any way to adjust the rear axle placement WRT  the
chassis?
