Do you have any pics? Is it a stock bar, stock pulley? Have you gotten under the car to take a look at the swaybar to make sure both the endlinks and bushings are still connected.

When I got my car the sway bar was rubbing on the pully. Of couse it was because it was wercked and the mount on the passenger side was pushed up 1.5 inches. The mounts on the frame rail for the sway bar would have to be bent or the bar itself bent in the middle. Check there first.

Not to state the obvious, but something is wrong here.

I checked mine today and even with the 36.5 mm Hotchkis bar I still have about 1 inch clearance between the 2.

it is the stock bar and pully. I have not had time to check it very closely, my guess is the end links are loose.

Nope..... The links could be gone and it wouldn't hit the pulley if it's on right-side up.
