Default Crank pulley hitting suspension component?

I have an 89 ef sedan with a B16 swap, when I hit bumps my crank pulley hit the lateral support, I dont know what the part is called, it's like a bar that goes from the lower control arm to a bushing at the front of the car. I was wondering if this is normal, my car is lowered with Eibach springs, any info on this and about how to fix this would be awesome.

Its been discussed before. The motor is sitting to low. You can either buy new mounts, have your stock pulley accessory slots machined off, or buy a N1 ctr pulley.

One of these three answers will solve your problem.

You can also bolt the radius rod to the underside of the lower control arm.

huh?? his engine mount is not falling off. this just happens when swapping a b-series engine into an ef chassis when the car is lowered quite a bit. as was already mentioned have the a/c and p/s ribs machined off, or purchase an n1 ctr pulley.
