Yeah just this. The rear mudguard does it a little on major bumps but the front is much worse. It's actually towards the bottom of the mudguard where it happens though, the whole thing twists from behind the fork bolt, and the stays do nothing to prevent it moving side to side.
Stiffer stays would surely help but they'd need to more or less replace the existing ones which I'm not sure is possible. Either that or increase the clearance, so it would have to move further to make contact with the tyre. I don't know whether 2mm each side increase, from going up a size in Bluemels would be enough.
