Rubbing, no. Although the tire that has been on the rear drivers side since I bought the car has always been very worn on in the most inner tread. Could a bad strut be the issue here? Maybe the strut caused the tire to wear weirdly or something? I'm not sure...Perhaps buying a quickstrut for 80 bucks on eBay to solve this is what I need to do.

If you are replacing your struts, I would look into a good quality replacement and do both sides.

It's really too hard to tell over the internet. Can you bring it to a small shop to have them just check out the suspension parts?

Well I found out why the tire on my old wheel is so worn out! Not good! Sounds like I need to either bend that or replace it. Replacing it will be a b**** however, this has nothing to do with the wheel hitting but it definitely needs to be fixed before I replace the struts...

I don't know what that part is though, its not the toe bar...I can't find it on eBay lol and if I have to replace it instead of straightening it out its gonna be a b**** with the tank there.
