Default Back tire rubbing against somthing

hey guys... I have been very appreciative of all the help you have given me...so here I am with another question...

The inside of my passenger side rear tire is rubbing a piece of metal after the car had been towed...any ideas what that part is and how to fix it?

Probably the rear radius arm. I usually see this thin metal arm bent after the car is lifted by setting the rear lift devise too far inward and catching the rear suspension component. It could be bent by attaching a tow chain to the wrong part of the suspension.

You can rebend the arm to straighten it but it might be too far damaged and need replacement. You need to lift the car to assess the damage and determine if the arm is the cause or some other component is rubbing.
