I should have been more specific. I am not actually getting any chassis rub on the middle of the chassis. Most of the chassis rub is on the protrusions where the front pivot balls are mounted for the sidelinks, as well as on the back corners of the main chassis plate (by where the crossbrace posts are mounted). This is why most of my focus has been on tube lube and side springs.

With that said, do you think a center spring change could help with chassis rub on the side edges as well? I don't think I am getting any rub from the car squatting or lifting during momentum changes; it just seems to have a lot of roll.
