Noise in the front end... the answer?

Well on Friday thinking about potential welds that might have let loose in the RE HD trackbar bracket or anything else going bad in there, I have removed it for a full inspection. At that point I have discovered on it a gray shiny stripe where the coil is rubbing on it (I knew it did that before, I just forgot about it) and I think that is it! The noise was there on left turns and on compression (me not slowing up for potholes). Anyways, at that point I decided to readjust my trackbar to my axle over by a tad (since I had it out anywals LOL) and in the process I have discovered that my alignment was off (I had the tires pointing inwards: difference between front and back was abou 1/2") so I have taken the opportunity to even that out as well. Unfortunately since I got it ripped appart in the rear with light bulbs hanging, quarter panels ripped open (one ripped open, one already cut and folded nicely) I will not be able to confirm this till tomorrow, but I sure hope that was it.
In any case if anyones else is having weird clunks/thunks up front.... look at the coil interaction with other components.
 
Yeah,mine did that!Take the time to chamfer the corner on the bracket,no rubbing since!
