Is your car lowered?- if it is.. . it could be rubbing. What size tires and rims are you on?. (ex: 18x8 w/ 225.40/18). Need a bit more info.

how many miles?- anything beyond 90K .. . you'd be looking at a suspension overhaul. Meaning you'd need to get new springs/struts/mounts because that's the case on mines at 86K. The rear was sagging really bad and my rear struts had already bottomed out.
