Default sway bar hitting lower control arm

anyone have a problem with the swaybar moving and hitting the lover control arm?

it has only moved in the last few days.
the car has had the AUII fron end swap done to fit bf brakes.
at the time a pedders sway bar was used as it was cheaper then a new one from ford.
the sway bar has moved all the way to the passanger side and the drivers side lower contol arm is resing on the mount.

any ideas what caused it and how to fix it?

It'll be similar to the whiteline ones.. they mount the bars differently, so the force is delt with differently and shifts the bar.

Whiteline make a bush that sits up against the Ubolts on the crossmember to stop the bar shifting side to side. I'm not sure which forums it was on, but someone has taken photos of it.. Call whiteline and tell them of your problem and they'll give you a part number, from memory it wasn't expensive. You'll need one for each side.
