My sway bar end link actually comes in contact with the coil spring. What could be causing this, and how to I fix it?

Longer sway bar links, sway bar should be angled up about 10 degrees I believe

That's what I thought was wrong. When the PO lifted it, I guess he neglected the way bar. So would quick discos solve my problem?

Took care of the problem yesterday with some JKS Quicker Disconnects!

If you adjust your castor angle to factory specs the spring will move away from the sway bar. Your axle is tilted to far forward
