swaybar beating my strut

i seem to have a problem. there has been a klunk noise in my steering for a while now, only when i am nearing wheel lock, never really looked into it to much... the other day i was replacing my coil springs and noticed that the front swaybar is actually hitting the strut when i turn !? it is an aftermarket piese from Addco. i was never really thrilled for these bars, especially the rear one, but this seem to be the problem, anyone else has this problem with this brand (if anyone has this brand)? is it just me?

i have a bmr swaybar both front and rear.
my front seem to touch my pitman arm
and when im turning left while backing up,
it gives me a huge clunk noise..

i heard when u install them, u have to really be careful to center them
or oterwise it will be off-centered and hit something..
that might be it for both of us.

mine used to hit the pitman are, but i moved it away and repositioned it, but that didnt effect the strut issue, maybe this bar is just as crappy as i thought
