Finaly found out what the cause was when I was adjusting the rear break shoes.
The bottom of the shocks have 2 bolt holes to bolt up to the wheel hub assembly.
On the front shocks, the top of these 2 bolts has an off centre bolt shaft to adjust the camber angle.
Even though the rear shocks dont have a camber adjustment bolt in the same position, it would seem the hole in the shock as supplied from the manufacturer is oblong and not a perfect round fit for the bolt.
This meant that with the bottom half of the suspension all connected to the bottom of the hub assembly, the hub was being pushed outwards so that when I did up that top bolt, the whole wheel was sitting with less of a camber angle than standard.
Realising this at the weekend, I got someone to push the top of the hub assembly in while i did up the bolt and hey presto, no more rubbing !
Now all I gotta do is save some cash to get geo done propper
