Faint burning rubberish smell after new struts?

Hey y’all


Ripped out my Eibach and put in some 5100’s

After the first drive home, I noticed a slight burning rubber smell coming from the driver side front wheel well.

Now, im unsure if I am smelling brakes or what. I did brake hard a few times right before I got out of the truck.

They did an alignment, so.. im unsure if this is the “new” breaking in or what.

Any tips on what to look for? Everything seems and looks fine.

 

Look for something rubbing. They shouldn’t have touched anything hydraulic so shouldn’t be any fluid leaks.

 

Any ideas on what would be rubbing?

 

They may have sprayed something on lower control arm bolts or something else. It got on your exhaust and/or brakes.

 

Penetrating fluid overspray on the top hat nuts?

 

Drove it again, didn’t notice it. Fingers crossed lol

 

I love a happy ending!

 

Me too! That’s why I hate that they closed my local strip… nvm.

 

Oh, the humanity!
