S60 diff hitting panhard brace...
I lowered the car back a few months ago with BMR springs and the heater hose mod to the springs and didn't hear any abnormal noises, even when going over bumps or the occasional pothole, but today as I was leaving work I heard a ver loud bang coming from the rear when I was slowly creeping over a speed bump. Got the car home and first thoughts were the torque arm mount came lose again, so I gave everything a good once over, panhard rod, LCAs, shocks mounts top and bottom, and everything seems nice and tight, then I noticed there is a little wear on the top of the "S" on the diff cover of my Strange S60. So, do I just need to "clearance" the brace then?

I have non-adjustable LCAs with the stock torque arm, and I'm afraid something caused the rear end to shift backwards, but I don't know what that could be. If I had clearance problems I would have thought they'd have reared their head when I initially lowered the car, and not some odd months afterwards. Is it possible the fatory panhard bar bracket/brace on the body got twisted? Everything underneath the car seems tight. No loose play in any of the components. I'm baffled to be honest.
