If the wheels are rubbing against the strut, the Tuning Forks aren't the cause. Actually, with the way the strut mounts into the wheel carrier, I don't think any faulty suspension part would cause the wheel to rub on the strut because it'll move as one solid assembly. The only thing I can think may be causing that kind of movement is if the hole in the wheel housing where the struts slides into (Item 1 in the pic) is not true anymore, or the bolt that clamps it down is not torqued down all the way. That could make cause it to camber in and out, but even that going bad is a long shot.

The other cause may be excessive flex in the wheel. Are you using OE wheels or aftermarket?
