Default Reinstalled rear now driveshaft is rubbing

Looking for some input here I f anyone has any.

Recently reinstalled my rear and while car was still jacked up I noticed two things
1. The drive shaft contacts the exhaust at the yoke when it turns (not always but at 2 points in the 360 rotation)

2. The new ES end links I put in wont settle into the grooves in the sway bar.

Now I havnt tightened down the sway bar fully yet at the end links because when I do they just start to compress off center of the "seat" in the sway bar instead of settling in.

Is there some way I can adjust my rear when putting it in? I thought it only went in1 way. The rear that went in was my old rear with new gears so no change there.

I do have adjustable torque arm but didn't touch it.
Car is still off the ground havnt put it down

Oh and can't remember if drivers side parking brake cable goes over or under the Panhard

Well unless youre rollin dukes of hazard style you should be fine. My ds has never actually hit my y during operation. I can't remember how the brake cable goes,but I'm pretty sure I ran mine under the phb mount on the drivers side.

Can't really help on your end links. Maybe you can post a pic.

Took your advice and loaded the rear with the jack. Everything lined up including the end links! Thanks a bunch!
