Default Bent sway bar
Wth is going in here. Lots of rubbing. Sway bar can't slip one way or another either since the locating bead.

I am interested in the people's thoughts as well. I have a similar issue... I thought about replacing the sway bar but I was going to dismantle and assess the fit with new bushings prior to droppin coin.

you can see that the manufacturer put a dip in the plastic splash guard....seems like they knew about the tight tolerance....

Was there ever a resolution to this? Mine is the same exact way. Makes taking off the sway bar link really hard on the drivers side too.
