The spring is not touching the a-arm at the back and then rubbing on the shock. If it's touching the a-arm that means that u have bent u'r a-arm. Is the shock rod bent?

it is the shock in the undercarriage.

Whats the size of spring and what setting is your "C" clip at...make sure your spring is preloaded to the correct SPEC your spring shouldn't be any shorter than 10.4" when sled is resting with track on ground "no load" and check your SAG see attached doc...

Its the original spring and its in the 2nd c clip position.

Like I mentioned in earlier post check to see if its within spec...whats your weight w/gear?

You might have to small of spring for your riding style.

Mine does scrub a bit, jack the rear so suspension is of the ground, grasp the spring with both hands and turn it 1/4 of a turn without changing your cam setting, by turning it in a certain position it somtimes fixes the problem the spring will have a slight deflection/bow and you need to find its sweet spot...keep turning till you find that perfect SPOT!
