Front suspension check up; Wheel rubbing with stock tyres

Hi All,

I am experiencing some problems with my front suspension during the last month.
The problem is that my tyres rub on the top of the wheel arch (One to Two o' clock position).
The car is lowered with a -40mm kit and has 8mm spring pads at front and 13mm pads at rear.
The tyre size is stock, 185/65/15.

The lowering kit is 11 months old now, and I checked the springs and their mounts and they are good. Same for rubber shock mounts as they are 11 months old too.
Ball joints don't show any sign of wear (N/S b/j was replaced 4 months ago)
I adjusted the O/S wheel bearing and the rubbing has been slightly reduced.
I also had alignment problem and it is discussed there


Could this problem be due to wishbone bushes or is this a wheel bearing problem?

Anybody experienced something similar?
