Is it only rubbing on one side ? sounds like you shocks are adjusted to 2 different settings throwing your fender out of alinement. do you have any pics ?

Thats what I was going to suggest. The preloads aren't the same on the shocks.

If not the shocks, check the rear wheel alignment, my bet is it is not set correctly.
Is it rubbing the same front to back or just the front or back part of the fender?
