Default Sway bar disconnect angle
Hi,

For some reason one of my sway bar disconnects are on an angle. Anyone know what would cause this?

See pic.
Thanks

I Have extended the sway bar disco out a little for the 2" lift.. Here is an updated photo.

The other disco seems to be straight.

My sway bar can also slide side-to-side in its mount. Have you tried sliding the bar over a bit to split the difference?

The other side seems straight.. so if I move it then the other side will be out.

I did try and move it, but the bar was getting close to the chassis, so i moved it back a little.

May be a silly question, but why is the driver side disconnect adjusted to be as short as it can be and the passenger side adjusted to very long?
