On the first photo, it's my passenger side the sway bar connect looks like it's on the wrong side of the bracket on the bottom (it's outside toward the wheel)

The second photo is my driver side and the link is straight and on the bracket INSIDE of the wheel.

The other side looks like it's bending badly? Is that normal?

Not sure if this is the cause of the pull but your correct, that passenger side link should be bolted to the inside. Switch it around and see what happens.

Also check to see if your axle is centered. From here it looks like the passenger coil might be askew.

Wow they put the swaybar links on wrong? Was this an actual 4x4 shop that did the work? I always do my own work just so I know it's done right. I even do my own oil changes.

The one is clearly wrong. It being on the wrong side will not make the vehicle pull in any way though.

Yeah a jeep "specialist" at that. I went to get those c gusset brackets welded on. I usually all my own stuff but I didn't know how to weld so I went there :-(
