Default GMG anti-sway bar rub

My rear GMG anti-sway bar slightly rubs the rear subframe just inside each mount. I'm calling them on Monday but has anyone else had this issue and is there shim available to space it rewards. This is on a .1 RS, stock drop links. Thanks.

Here's a pic, shop installed it so hopefully this is right. Rubbing is at each end of the center of the bar, towards each end of the straight section. Car is upsidedown however.

Same issue
They offer a shim or spacer for it
When I ordered mine - same problem - called - shims were in the box - but they weren't - they shipped me some more

Same problem here. It rubs with the bar on middle or hard. Spacers the way to go, hopefully the GMG crew will make it right for you.

Nice...what front rate? 700? I'm running 400/700 on stock shocks, so the front is still pretty soft.

I see u got a gooseneck, just picked one up myself, best decision ever. Tows like a magic carpet ride.....

Interesting. I run front bar one from full soft.

My 32' GN tows better than my 18' open trailer.....I won't go back to bumper pulls. Ur gonna love it, plus the storage over the bed is awesome.

I run front 1 from full stiff

I am glad to read your GN review... I have heard that once you go GN you won't go back from many people
