Sway bar rubbing steering column?!

Hey everyone I bought a set of front and rear Hotchkis sway bars from Criagslist (first mistake) and then bought a new set of bushings for them when i had them put them on. Ive had em on for about 2 months now and love them. I took the car to the shop to get it inspected...it failed miserably. During the inspection, the guy at the shop realized that my after market sway bar is rubbing my steering column er something and it could eventually break it, sending me god knows where. He says i need to get a shorter end link for the front sway bar to eliminate this problem. I have looked online extensively and called Hotchkis myself but it doesn't seem like anyone makes a shorter end link for the front sway bar, only the rear. What do i do? Navy, i hope you find this thread soon, you seem to be the most knowledgeable person on here. Please help me everyone, autoX is approaching quickly!
