Try disconnecting the sway bar links and isolating them from the equation. Then go from there! Good luck with your diagnosis.

I would say 3/4 inch of space between driver coil and end of sway bar,,, I would isolate or put something between the bar end and coil or some how move the sway bar away from coil and then do a check to see if it has gone away,,,,

It was hitting the frame right behind the spring. I turned the spring and it now has plenty of space. It wasn't in the perch.
