Default rear sway bar help w/ moser 12 bolt

Alright I made another post but didnt get anything so here I am again. I have had the rear end in for two years or so but about last year I bought the spohn 1 rear sway bar and after driving it for a few months I jacked the car up just to look at some stuff dealing with the suspension and noticed my rear sway bar is rubbing against my qa1 rear shocks. It rubbed so much that there is a little hole in both shocks, making them drain fluid. I just want to know what I can do to make this work. Thanks guys

I have a moser 12 bolt and had to put a spacer between shock and the mount on the rear don't know if like yours but see if that would help you.

Alright thanks alot, by you using the spacer did it just push the shock out further to where the bend in the sway bar passed by it better or what?

It did 2 things 1) it got it away from the mount which was pressed against the bottom of the shock and 2) as the sway bar bends uo to the chassis mount the shock was moved out a bit to get more space.I looked at them today as I was banging on the fender wheels and they are 1/2" hope this helps you.
