Rear hotchkis swaybar rubbing on diff bushing

So yesterday I started hearing a noise from my rear end, so I got to looking and noticed that when the car is fully sitting on the ground the swaybar hits the bushing for the differential it's the part that bends around the exhaust.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ok I couldnt get a pic of mine but i found a pic showing pretty much what im talking about, if you look inside the red circle you can see how close the diff bushing looks to the swaybar, well in my case its actually hitting there.
(im aware its not a g35 but the swaybar and bushing are the exact same location

You might be able to adjust the angle a bit to gain some clearance by means of adjustable endlinks. Is your car lowered a lot?

Yeah I ordered some spl adjustable endlinks today I figured if I extended them then I would turn the swaybayaway from the diff bushing. I hope it works

So I got the Endlinks in and extended them out to be about 1/2" longer then the oem endlinks and the swaybar now clears the bushing but the noise is still there! WTF. i guess its something else.

Yeah... Something tells me i may have to replace a few parts before I figure this out, Hey Kev if you have your G back can you go out and see if you can get on your knees and look under at your sway bar and see if yours is also realy close to the bushing

Oh and text me because im heading out to the car to do some more looking
