Thumbs down Why would my Front end link be rubbing on my shock!

I notice my Passenger side endlink is rubbing on my shock tower. I have Hotchkis sways, driverside doesnot rub at all. WTH would cause this?

The lack of a proper decription of the bars he's using is terrible. Then he asks for help. I read his sig. Says Hotchkis. If he has the old ones, it didnt' come with the collars. You had to get the McMaster Carr units. It's up to the owner to put them on the right spots so it's centered.

Lack of proper description?

They are the new version of the Hotchkis sways!

+1 on mcmaster carr collars. better yet - sell the hotchkis and get stillens. old hotchkis tend to slide left-right and kill end-links for breakfast.

I have the collars and my bars haven't moved at all. But I am getting a rattle that I "think" is an end link. I tightened the allen head bottom bolts but I think they are getting worn.
