C230 4matic front passenger wheel rubbing against wheel well
My wifes c230 is rubbing against wheel well.
it has aftaftermarket wheels but they were always fine. Now only the front passenger tire rubs against the wheel well when we hit a small speed bump or pothole.

I do notice that the passenger side wheel clearance seems way tighter than the driver side though.

would it be a shock replacement? Control arm?

These are the pictures to compare driver side to passenger side

Passenger side no clearance






Driver side has much more gap as you can see

At a look and springs appear to be in tact and look relatively similar in comparison.

Any other ideas
