the tire rubs on the sheet metal part of the sub frame. a dealer suggested to get a piece of wood and a hammer and hit it at the rub spot enough to make room for the tire. they could not tell me why it was rubbing.

I would do as they suggested and then have the front end checked, along with an alignment......

Is it possible that you or someone else hit something in the road that caused the sheet metal to distort?
