Default Has anyone else had this problem??

At a recent autox I noticed a sever banging under hard cornering. Under further inspection I realized that my A-arm right where the ball-joint is, is making contact with my rotors, on both front brakes. My dust sheilds are severly bent, and I am thinking that it is bad enough that if I remove them the A-arm will actually hit the rotor. I really don't know what would cause this, my alignment is at -2.0 in the front, but I would think this would move the rotor and this portion of the A-arm further apart. I will have pics posted soon.

Never mind, under closer inspection I have eliminated this as a possiblity, it just physically can't happen, unless both of my balljoints are completely shot, which they are not. I have to think that what I am experiancing is that my sway bar is binding and my endlinks are going bad. Under severe conditions this alows extream movement from the sway bar when it finally comes unbound.
