MX5 MK1 NA Coilover Rubbing Drive Shaft

Hi all,

My rear right drive shaft (half shaft) rubs against the helper spring on the coilover on my 97' MK1 1.8 MX5. It doesn't do this on the other side. I have removed the helper springs for now but would rather know why this is happening so I can put the helper springs back in.

The rear subframe seems to be normal and everything seems symmetrical by eye. The only thing I can think of is that the bushings are swollen and have slightly moved the lower arm or something.

If anyone has any experience of this, please let me know!
