I had similar problem and it ended up Being the lock ring on the axel. It allowed the axel to slide out a little causing a rubbing on my rear fender.

Where is it rubbing? cut or uncut? Of course worn out springs dont help a bit.

It's "uncut" but instead of rolling the lip the PO trimmed it... Looks like chit. From a distance you can't tell but if you look hard you can see the line is not straight. I have 2 sets of cut outs to fix it at some point... Or just cut her...
