Brand new hubs now rubs

[Amaster]

I put brand new hubs on my gmc yukon xl the other week as well as front mudflaps about a week before that. I wasn't experiencing that much rubbing when I first put them on but now I have quite a bit any ideas. People have said alignment but steering wheels straight.

What kind of mudflaps did you put on? Are they somehow “relaxing” and deforming/sagging towards your wheels?

I have mud flaps on mine no rubbing, new hubs would not make anything rub either.
post up some pictures of the mud flaps lets see what's going on

What did you take apart when you replaced the hubs? The struts and cv shafts and???

Anytime you take steering/suspension apart, you should have alignment checked and corrected if needed. Both sides rub? One side? Sounds like the mudflaps are causing the rub and has gotten worse. Bump stop condition?

Hey, I figured out basically my oems are not fastened at the end. So whenever you turn the wheel almost all the way they rub. No problem

What are oems? you shouldn't be rubbing at all unless you are running a larger sized tire and there are ways to address that as well. photos?

What does "not fastened at the end mean"? You mean the large nut on end of shaft?
