i have a set of 15" daytons on my Grand Prix.... i think 1 is getting loose... cuz im hearing a rubbing noise when driving.... and i know it cant be the wheel hitting the fender... cuz i can raise the above the wheel well... and i still hear it.... so... my question is: i have the tool for the knock offs.... but is it still left loose right tight... or is it different for these wheels?

you just take off the upper control arm (keep track of the shims) take it down to the shop and they will press in the new bushings. check your ball joint if you shake the control arm after you take it off and the ball joint flops around replace it also. check the other side and the lower bushing to make sure they are good. I just replace all the bushing and ball joints if it was my car. put it back together and take it down to the alignment shop and get the car aliened. If you take off the lower control arms you will need to torque the bolts and use thread loc also.

The lower control arm bushings are ok.... but if i replace the top ones... i have to align the car?

shit you have hydro there isnt any point unless your toe in and out is out of wack and usually you can eyeball that shit. But you are rocking 15's not sure on the price of tires.

I only pay 30 bones for a BF Goodrich 60 thou tire 13's are the way to go.
