Default rear sway bar question

i have a 95 TA and was not sure were to post so i figured here would work..

I have the PML cover for the rear and it sticks out quite a bit farther than the stock cover, making it hit the rear sway bar. I have been running like this for a few years now but the noise is getting annoying. so i was wondering if the aftermaket sway bars give you enough room to clear aftermarket covers...

thank

This isn't going to answer your question (I don't know the answer), but wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a different diff. cover?

I wonder if this is also an issue with a Watts Link?

If someone has some time to waste, they could probably measure the minimal clearance between their watts link and the point on the stock cover that comes closest to it.

How far out does the PML cover extend compared to the stock cover?

Alright, the only reason I mentioned something is because I've never heard of issues with the TA cover and they're about $100 or so used....just curious.
