End link rubbing on spring
just for reference where the sway bar is
the passenger side
Drivers side rubbing
this is the old end links, I bought new ones (longer) thinking it might help. but that was a no go.
it looks good in my driveway, but I'd like to drive it. Please help me out boys.
Hey fellas I recently bought a ZJ to add to my collection. Here is a little info before I state the issue. It's a 97 ZJ Orvis with the 5.2, its lifted on god knows what. I was told it was a 5.5 Rubicon express LA kit with 2 inch spacers up front. However due to the shoddy work that I've found done to it I'm sure its a gaggle of junk LA kit (bought off EBAY). It looked good in all the pictures so I pulled the trigger. Anyways my driver side end link is rubbing on my spring and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Oops, jumped the gun on this thought it was an xj. I wonder if they'll work on a ZJ. this is what guys use when they have this problem. You need to get the bar pulled forward which in-turn pulls the links away from the springs

it looks like that coil is bowed. it's a common problem with coils. my old 5.5 inch RE coil bowed and rubbed my link.
i think i just switched left to right and if i remember correctly, it helped. that was a long time ago tho.
