Suspension GURUs come help!

I was putting the finishing touches on my suspension rebuild and went to tighten down the end links on the front sway bar. For ****s and giggles I decided to use the struts to center the bar I had a helper turn the wheels from lock to lock and to my surprise the struts kept hitting the bar and pushing it back and forth from side to side. I have an aftermarket HELLWIG 1 5/16" solid bar. I had broken an enlink awhile back as well but thought nothing of it. I had also broke one when I first bought my car when it had the WS6 bar. I thought the reason was that the bar was bent and replaced it (guess not).

Another interesting this was that when the wheel was hard left at lock the front end started tweeking and twisting. WHAT THE HELL!!!

The car is FUBAR I think.

What do you think
