To check you could lift the car and pull it but it might only happen under heavy twisting (like a slalom) but you might be able to inspect the bushing with a flashlight.

If you have adjustable drop links, the bar might be hitting the lca under full compression (a stretch, I haven't really looked at the front lately)

No alignment needed when replacing LCA with like OEM parts.
I replaced the sway bar a while back when I put the M030 kit on and bushings were virtually new so that might be a long shot but while I'll have the car up I'll check those out too.

Thanks for the input Steve!
