So during my long camping trip I noticed my rear wheel rubbing my shock making a groove in the tire. I put a skinnier tire on to get me home. Here's what I've done to try to fix this:
- replaced front and rear motor bushings (stock rubber ones)
- inspected the shock top rubber block, its fine and tight.
-I replaced rear hub, no difference.
-the original grooved tire is 93mm wide, so I tried a different tire, also 93mm wide, rubbed. Go figure.
-skinnier tire that didn't rub was 90mm.
-tire spins freely when lifted up and dosnt rub shock, it's only when riding.
-shock is only a year old, I can't imagine it's bent or anything.

What else am I missing?!
Grooved tire from shock

Other side of tire, not grooved. (Ignore the oily mess)
