2G RM rear sway bar issue?

[Esquire the Bold]

So this "issue" was originally present with the stock rear lca's and end links. It appears as though the sway bar isn't quite long enough to attach to the links with pulling one side. So any amount of suspension travel causes the bar to contact the lower control arms. Even with the Volk arms the problem still persists. This is what the passenger side looks like with the car on jackstands:

It sits pretty much flush on the control arm and you can see the scrape marks on the bottom from contact. It's also pulling on the bearing as far as it can travel. Here's the drivers side:

There's clearance between the sway bar and the control arm. Is the sway bar supposed to be long enough to connect to the end links without contacting the control arm or pulling one side?

Never had any issues with the stock rear sway bar--anyone else have this issue (stock, RM or other sway bar) or is it even an issue?

Have some spacers made to sit in between them and it will help this issue, the sphericals will pull in when jacked up as they do this with oem and even my arms i make.
I use some rod end misaligners to take up some of this gappage or you end up with binding issues like what you have here even if you fix the spherical, the rodend and bar will still be an issue and needs sorting

Got it..I'll pick up some spacers.

No worries. RM and ST and other bars should all be the same length and fit as oem. They have the tech to make sure its eithin 1/2mm normally which is amazing for sprung steel
