Default Re: '40 rear fender rub one side only

Another problem you need to fix is the awful leaned over angle of your shock absorbers.
If the shocks were vertical, they would be most effective, allowing the shocks to actually stroke and damp out road irregularities. On the other hand if the shock was laid over horizontally, they wouldn't work at all. The angle of your shocks will stroke the shocks very little and not do their job.

Good sketch from the HAMB
