Suspension problem, need some input
Ok, I was driving today, and every time I hit a large bump I heard a CLANG CLANG from the rear drivers side wheel well area. I was thinking oh crap what can this be, so finally after my drive (it got a ton worse durring it) I jacked my car up, took off the wheel and checked things out. Now i'm not sure of the exact names, but what it appears to be is a rear anti roll bar connection is hitting up against the large A style bar that connects onto my rotor (dunno if that is a rear control arm or what, like I said, I can work in there, just don't know the names 
) I didn't have the equip with me to jack up both sides and compare where this should be, but I sure as hell know that they shouldn't be hitting like this. Anyone have any idea what could cause this?
Sorry I ddn't take pics, my phone was out of batteries at the time.

Re: Here's a diagram which number is it?
Ok 5 is the A like arm that that bottom of the suspension goes into, and that is where the anti-roll connection is hitting. In that diagram, it is #5 that is being hit on the back area by something that is not on that diagram. if i only had the bently sutff I could show you, but that is atelast part of it.

when you jacked up the car
did you see the roll bar disconnected or was it still connected? If that's the problem then just bolt it back in there. I'm kinda confused about how you worded it.
"but what it appears to be is a rear anti roll bar connection is hitting up against the large A style bar that connects onto my rotor"
Haven't you already stated the problem? If you need help connecting it, try jacking up the rollbar with a jack if you can't get it lined up with the hole on your own. Other than that, I don't understand what's wrong?
