I know that these are supposed to be parallel, right? Does this look off? Thanks in advance.

Hard to tell from the pics, but the drag link and track bar should be as close to parallel as possible.

Need a pic that's more zoomed out so we can see most of the front end.

You need a single pic showing the entire front end.

Try this one:

Just to clarify for you... They are best when parallel or close to it. This will also change at different ride heights (lift heights).

The bars inbetween could technically do cork screws (I dont recommend ) but all the matters is the imaginary straight line between the center pivots of the trackbar joints and the draglink link joints.

If you really want to check it, tightly tape some string to the center of each joint and then stand back and look at them straight on.
