Default JKS quicker disconnects

Installed my quicker disconnects. The passenger side looks fine but the driver side isn't vertical. I could understand the need for a adjustable front track bar if both were cocked to one side but they are not. Anyone else notice this? Is it possible the sway bar is tweaked? Any ideas? I followed the instructions to a T.

Pictures would make this easier to diagnose.

if you've been driving without your axle being centered, your sway bar most likely has shifted over a bit. being that it's just clamped on to your frame with a couple of rubber bushings, the swaybar can slide side to side. this is no big deal and you can push the sway bar back over with some force (kicking the side of it, hitting it with a hammer) but, it will just move back unless you install an adjustable track bar.

Figured it just moved around. But one side is vertical. Guess I'll match my JKS rear track bar with a front.

when your sway bar is centered, both links will be angled a bit but in opposite directions if you know what i mean.
