    A month ago, I could hear my tire rubbing, on sharp left turns. Looking under it was hitting the stablizer bar. Somehow it shifted to left (drivers side)
    by about an inch. So I replaced the bushing and the left right end points and torqued all to spec, thanksgiving weekend. Now? its shifted again!
    What could be causing this?

    I have to wonder if there is other damage that you haven’t noticed. How does the car track when you take your hands off the wheel? I had an older car that had an alignment issue which would cause the stabilizer bar to wander over in one direction over time.

    at 130 MPH, it stays in line for a half mile. it does vibrate a slight bit. Its not been driven much in last year....year ago the had to redo a few things under there (ran over a suit case)
    So are you saying your sway bar would shift over about an inch even though nothing really pushes on it? Those endlinks kind of hang loosly by design.
    And even though you have that thing trouqed at the two spots where the bushings are? After installing we tried with a 3 foot cheater bar...it did not budge!
