I noticed today that it's hitting the frame and making noise when taking a sharp left turn under load and when accelerating from a stop on an incline. It's quiet otherwise. I had someone else push up on it as much as possible with a long pry bar while I tightened it down and I still ended up with maybe 1cm of clearance from the frame.

Any ideas on how to get more frame clearance? I'm considering stiffer engine mounts to help.
Stiffer engine mounts would probably help. Also a thinner solid sway bar instead of the hollow one. Whiteline are solid.
