My rear sway bar dented the diff cover a little. Nothing serious, just wondered if anyone had that issue.

Sounds like "someone" didn't pay close enough attention to clearance. I sure as hell wouldn't install a rear for someone and just cram it home if the sway bar was in danger of hitting the rear. I wouldn't have let you drive it in that condition. Get a big-time sway bar like gator said and you can adjust it's position as you install it .

It's not hitting the gears, so I'm not worried about it. I just think that Strange should have mentioned something about it. Not the installer's fault if there is no knowledge that an issue could exist.

Since the car is still inop, I will probably get a new sway bar.
