Drivers front tire rubs rear of fender well when turning left....
Ok, this is a problem on my '86 TA. The car sat all winter and just last weekend I got it ready for the nice weather again. When I first took it out for a drive, I noticed an odd noise when I turned left and found out it was the front drivers tire rubbing on the rear of the fender well when I turn. The passenger side likewise does the same also when turning left but not near as bad. This wheels don't have to be turned real sharp for this to happen either. Now I'm assuming this is a suspension problem of some sort but I don't know where to start. The car has had an alignment, new ball joints, new inner and outer tie rod ends, and a new idler arm all a couple years ago. Other than that I don't believe any of the front suspension has been replaced. I've owned the car for about 8 years now and I personally haven't done anything other than what I mentioned above.
Please give me an idea of what could be causing this issue and where I should start.
Thanks in advance!

maybe your springs are finally bad or your struts need to be replaced.
