BMW 7 Series right front wheel scraping fender
Model Year: 1996
Hi. At speeds above 120kph, a loud scraping sound is generated that looks like my right front wheel is hitting the right front fender. Thanks for your help!

If your wheel is rubbing against bodywork there must be insufficient clearance due to susp. wear or body / wing mis-alignment .Could also be due to wrong size wheels or tyres .Other possible causes , but you should be able to see marks where wheel has been rubbing if you get it jacked up and checked .

assuming you have correct wheels/tyres fitted,check front lower arms and tension struts for excess play,check all balljoints
