Are they rubbing on the strut side of the arch or other side?

Dont take a hammer to them explore every other option first.

Sounds like they need to be rolled Ry, you can get a tool for this but I would get it done by a pro, otherwise your get rust in the future.

Yes they rub the strut side of the arch. Its where it comes down and sticks out at the bottom. Only rubbing in 3 small places where the arch rolls out at the end?

Try spacers first it's the cheapest option.
