The other day had a full carload of people and the rear wheels were both hitting the wheel well. I can tell that my rear is sagging more and something isn't right. one side is also slightly lower than the other since. I tried searching but did not find anything helpful so I'm hoping the gain some insight here. Any recommendations on what this is? Do I replace the shocks, struts and control arms? Also should the front be done at the same time?

replace rear struts and springs. if you can afford it do the front shocks and springs as well.

Thanks for the replies on this, much appreciated!

So I decided to get the car aligned first just to make sure it wasn't effecting things. In truth I have known for a while that I needed one. Ended up having to replace my front right control arm cus the ball joint was really loose. There was tons of play in it compared to my left. After the alignment was done the space between the fender and the tires in the rear is the same on both sides.

The rubbing I realized was due to my oversized tires and their 5mm spacers. I had previously thought my rear control arms were going bad but with the alignment, the camber is gone. The rear being low I think is the springs sagging so I may replace em at some point. For now, I look to be ok.
