You can see where I took off some of the brace, which now isn't a issue but I do have that bolt still rubbing a little

If its just one side, its likely your track bar needs adjustment, your axle is likely not centered.

My axle is centered. Only rubs one side because ther are bolts on that side. My coil does have a slight bow which is causing the problem. Just not sure why it has a bow.
