Rubbings on stock JTR. Normal?

[glaadi8tor]

Hi I have a stock 2023 JT Rubicon. I am concerned as whenever I pull up to go in my garage and turning my wheels fully to get in, I hear some rubbing. Is this something I need to get looked at? There is a small slope in the entrance of my garage so I'm thinking it could be that? But just weird since I didn't make any changes yet with my suspension and tires and all of a sudden I'm hearing this. Its only been a month of owning it but its new when I bought it. Any advises are welcome!

Shouldn’t rub but crazier things have happened with Jeep’s vaunted quality control. Check your fenders to see if any of the plastic is loose or any clips or rivets are missing. Next, Try chalking (I use old kids sidewalk chalk) the inside of the front tires and see if there is any transference of chalk to fenders, control arm, sway bar etc. good luck!

The plastic in my fender well does the same thing ever since the dealership got in there to fix some electronics issues. There's not enough connection points and mine rubs when i make a hard right turn. I'll eventually get aluminum liners if I can find one that's not just a billboard for whoever made it, so I'm not too worried about fixing it right now. You might be able to push it back into place if it's bothering you too much, or try your luck at a dealer to see if they will fix it.

Fender liner, I just cut mine out until a better solution is found.

Hello! Sorry for the delayed response. I discovered that my inner fender liner is damaged which is causing the noise would the warranty cover it?

Nope! I discovered that my fender liner is damaged not sure what happened. Hopefully warranty covers it

Is it better to get aftermarket liners? If my dealer isnt gonna replace it for free then I need to start looking for a new one becayse its really bothering me

Try the dealer first. My dealer offered to replace them with no questions since they messed with it. Also, it really shouldn't rub. If it bothered me as much as it bothers you, I would try the free route first.
