Or perhaps suspension bushings or ball joints. I can't believe even with
collapsed springs the tire would hit. Suspension bushings are very often
overlooked in a quest for better handling, especially the lowers. They
don't look or feel that bad, yet the wear is letting the lower arm  move
around quit a bit. this especially happens in rust prone climates. The
rust forms on the inside steel sleeve of the bushing and scrubs off the
rubber at an accelerated rate.
