Default Back driver side tire rubbing on turns

My back driver side tire is rubbing on my 2017 ezgo txt flt. No lift. It only does it on turns and some bumps. It seems heavy duty leave springs would help this. It seems to sit about 1/4 closer to the tire than the passenger side when someone sits on the back seat. My thoughts are that the driver side leaf spring is bad. Very squishy. Doesn’t seem to be the shocks. Thoughts?

I am experiencing the exact same thing on my 2012 RXV. A few months ago, I replaced the front struts and after that is when the rubbing started to happen. Not sure if the rear leaf was weak and having the front up on jack stands further compounded the weak spring? Anyway, I am about to order new rear shocks and heavy duty leaf springs. I just measured through the center of the wheel, the distance between the ground and the wheel opening on driver side is 22 3/4" and the passenger side is 23 1/2". So, obviously I have an issue on that driver side. BTW, I am running 215/35x14 low profile tires.

My plan was to just upgrade to a heavy duty leaf spring. I wasn’t going to address the shocks though. I am the same as you, I am about 1/2 off as well. I think this will handle both of us!!!
