Default Frame contact near Coil Spring?

I have a knocking when all the way turned left, I was checking around for the source, could this be it? If not what could be causing this contact ?


I got the Jeep lifted and seems the Trac bar mount hole was relocated, is this a normal amount, or could this be part of the rubbing issue?



Any help or suggestions is aprreciated. Jeep has been fun but one issue after another !

Damn thanks for help. I was dirty and had my phone only with me. Didn't really want to go in house and get the DSLR. I figured they were good enough to see the issue... I'll be sure to get better images for you next time though...

looks like you just need soom extended swaybar links or quick disconnects.

when i got my rubicon express 5.5 inch extreme duty lift kit, it came with some sway bar drop brackets that are simply just a set of 2x2 square tubing cut all nice like so my bracket bushing/mounts can be lowered.

maybe that's all you need? that and maybe a set of sway bar disconnects.

Need more info.

How much lift?

Have you looked at the Pass. Side to see if the say bar link is farther away from the frame rail than the drivers side?

Stock TrackBar?
