Thanks for the help. It turned out to be a hanger issue after all though. This forum is great!

you might have to go back again...

Thought mine was fixed, but it wasn't. It was better, but not fixed. I removed the hangers that were getting rubbed and grinded some material off of them to get even more clearance.

Prolly coulda hammered them again, but I don't have a lift and lack, um, wrist strength to do that laying on the ground.

Right now it looks like I'm good, have about another 1/4" clearance. If I still have a problem I'll grind.
