Ill try to take some tomorrow if i have time. It only happens if i go over say a speed bump really fast. You can hear a slight clunk and today i was doing a brake flush i figured id take a look at everything to see if something looked loose and that when i noticed scratching on the side of the gas tank. Nothing major but over time it might put some wear. So now i drive lot slower pulling out of driveways and going over bumps or holes =(. With the car on a drive on rack there really is little clearance between the beam and the gas tank. That little bar i showed in a pic before cant really be removed with a load on the car. Had to put it on a conventional lift to take the load off the beam so it would drop enough down. So even with the bar removed there is still some slight contact but with the tank now. Before it would make contact with the tie bar even going slowly out of a driveway. Any twisting seemed to make it contact on the drivers side of the beam. Now where its contacting is slightly on the drivers side still but none on the passanger side. I cant imagine what would happen if i had passangers in the rear now lol.
