Default Sway bar problems

Rear sway bar links lean to the right while on level ground. What is the fix? Using a Synergy relocate bracket and synergy adj. links. Net lift is 4.65"

Your axle is probably off-center. You have an adjustable track bar?

Before throwing money at a new trackbar, is the axle centered? And is the swaybar centered? If it's just the swaybar, you might be able to push it over a small amount.

I wouldn't throw money at a new TB.....considering you have an adjustable. Even with 110k miles, that rear isn't doing near the work as the front is. I wouldn't worry about the joints.....AND, if you were worried about the joints, just replace the joints rather than buy a whole new TB.

It is double adjustable... you can adjust it rather than replace it.

I don't understand the logic here, why would you replace it?

If the joints are toast, replace the joints. You don't need a whole new TB.

I didn't know that they sold replacement ends for them. In that case I will be replacing the joints.

I'd inspect it first tbh. Unless there is play in the joint, there's no need. Odds are they are really fine, adjust to proper length, and save yourself a little money. Unless you have some reason to think the joint might be bad.....other than mileage....you are most likely just fine.
