Default Locate Rubbing Contact Spots?

Does anyone have an easy way to find out where my tires rub when i am off road? I have already trimmed back everything for regular driving, and have never heard anything.
Yesterday i was off road and turned through a small valley at a decent speed, and heard rubbing up front, but cant recreate when stopped to locate area to be trimmed.

Any Ideas?

Have you checked the plastic stock air dam under the front bumper if you still have one?

This is your front brake line.

With a small hammer, you can move it a little bit.
