Default Never rubbed... Now rubbing me the wrong way

After buying my gs 2 months ago and dropping it on super downs with 20's I had no rubbing issues what so ever. The drive was great and I even took my daughter with 4 of her friends on a trip and all smooth. About 2 weeks ago I was rear ended and took my car to the dealer to have the repairs done. Now it rubs when it never used too... Any ideas why now? I think the springs must have settled already. The accident happen a month after I dropped it.

Maybe try getting an alignment done? Or did the dealership already do that?

Yea they did do the alignment... I was thinking that as well... I was thinkin of taking the car where I aligned it after I dropped it to do exactly what they did before... Or maybe ask for the report of the alignment from the dealer to compare

it looks like your rear arm is bent to be that close to ur tire, you might want to check it, if u want measure the front and the rear spacing from the tire to the fender , and u are running 20" correct?
I can measure mine and let you know.PM me.

off topic, but i see your car all the time over by the Ralphs shopping center. I work in the offices right across Westlake Blvd. Car looks nice, sucks you already got rear ended though.
