Talking Possisble issue with JKS trackbar... does this look normal?

Am running teraflex 2.5" coil lift and JKS adjustable trackbar in front. Was going through retorquing bolts today and noticed that my trackbar isn't centered in the bracket on the frame side. Like maybe the bushing (sleeve?) inside this end of the trackbar has drifted out of the center of its housing. When I grab the trackbar there doesn't seem to be any play in it and its doing its job, so should I be concerned?

BTW, this trackbar was purchased new and installed in December, only been offroading a few times on dirt roads/trails so far, nothing even remotely extreme yet.

Here is a pic from underneath showing the trackbar end...

it doesn't look good. but you should call them on tuesday and talk with their customer support as they do an excellent job answering questions over the phone. they took care of my situation with the trackbar popping in n out.

Y'all had me concerned, so I went out and checked mine. It's off center a tiny bit, but is probably okay. I'll just keep an eye on it.
