Default driver's side front end problem

Hello all, I'm having a problem with my 97 850 T-5. When I turn the wheel all the way to the left, the driver's side tire rubs against the lip of the fender and will bend it out. Also, when going over bumps, the driver's front bottoms out. I have new springs and struts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Does it bottom out or just sound like it bottoms out? Did you replace the spring seat when you did the springs and struts?

Did you put lowering springs on or stock height?

also, You can ball out your fenders, a wood bat can do it or you can get someting like this.. ===>Eastwood Fender Roller Tool

A little more complicated than the bat method but ive used it and love it..
