Rear Swaybar links hitting Axle
After adjusting my pinion angle my rear sway bar links are hitting the axle. They hit when the bump stops still have about 4" of clearance. What are my options for fixing this?

are you saying that the sides of the links are hitting the axle? if so, is it safe to assume you have them mounted on the inside of the mounts as opposed to the outside next to the tire? unless you do not have too much back spacing and cannot mount the links on the outside, that's really where they belong and your problem will be fixed

Yup, your right I have them mounted on the inside. I'll change them today. I'm going to have to learn how to post pictures soon. I have a couple of write-ups to post.

I have mine on the outside and they look super close to the axle. I'm afraid that under certain articulation scenarios they would hit but have not confirmed it...

Post a picture up. I don't picture in my mind how to would hit the Axle?? You should also do a simple flex test to determine clearance whenever you make suspension changes.
