sway bar/tie rod contact

lately i had been noticing a clunk when i made a right hand turn and the conditions were right. that prompted me to get under there and see if i can locate the issue as i have had CV issues before and this noise did not fit. i suspect it is the tie rod end and sway bar making contact (see pics below) does anyone know of a solution or have examples of what they have done to combat this issue? thanks in advance

Do you have them on the right way?
I know of a couple of people who had theirs off put them back on upside down and they hit.
Just a thought

HAHA, that my friend is where i hit a wall :banghead:

the service manual does not tell me what the "right way" is, i will flip it and see if that stops the noise, thank you

man i have NO Idea WHO put their sway bar links on backwards!!

and yes.. there is a difference!

mine didn't hit the TRE's tho, it just wasn't doing alot to prevent sway

i think the "Other" dude put his on in a way that they hit
