try removing your tire, and get a roll of duct tape...

tape any places you suspect that might be rubbing, go for a drive, and inspect the tape.

also, examine your tire, as it may provide clues as to why it is rubbing, and/or where it's rubbing.

EDIT-- also, you might get more answers if you post this in the suspension board.

Vader, could you copy this to the suspension board possibly?
