has anyone encountered this type of a problem: sway bar endlinks is touching the bumpstop, due to my excessive 8.5 caster, its clunking everytime i hit bumps. the clunky sound was just recently, since i lowerd it a bit more. so today, i bent back the bumpstop just a tiddy bit, it helpd a little bit but still clunks on large bumps or uneven surfaces ..im probably goin to chop the bumperstopper off.

here's an illustration since im bored

my tanabe sway --->====/_stock endlinks-->...._____/| | <--bumpstopf lower control arm>..|_____|when hit bump...................^^ hits my endlinksthen it annoys me then me worries if swaybar goin to bend then me think "ooh well, me fix it later"

< my touge face < my face when driving in a 5mph traffic , today!

Uh, I think the proper solution would be to fix your caster.

Perhaps take a picture of what's happening, your drawing doesn't really make sense. And 8.5 caster is quite a bit...why do you need so much?
