Scraping with RA Mud Flap

I have just installed RA mud flap on my 2010 MR-T. When I make a tight turn, I will hear scraping noise from the front mud flap. This happens on both side and even on a very slow turn. My wheel and suspension are stock so the car is in its oem height. I double checked the install and everythings look fine.

I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same issue on scraping.

Installed mine a couple days ago and have not experienced this problem. What makes it stranger in your case is, I'm lowered on swift springs, and also have 265 tires all around. Are you sure your flaps are Evo X specific. The only other thing I can think of is double checking your install.

I have the same mud flaps and the same car. No problems on my end Maybe you just need to loosen up the hardware, readjust and tighten it back up.

Did you watch this video while doing the install?

Im lowered on swift springs and haven't had any problems with scraping. Like another said, are you sure you were sent EvoX specific flaps? Good luck.

Fixed it. One of the screw was not tightened correctly.
