as u can see the driver side sway is connected on the far side of the bracket away from the wheels. the ps side sway is connected on the inside of the bracket closer to the weel side. is this wrong if so how should it be? thank you.
fyi i have been driving like this for 2weeks at least 500 miles.

Classic. Just saw a post somewhere else a couple weeks ago where a shop had the front track bar upside down. Fortunately, a couple of us noticed before the vehicle was lowered the next morning.
I'd check all the work. If they don't know how to install a sway bar link, I'd be a little worried about the rest of the install.

Could be just a stupid mistake. The installer was getting near the end and wasn't thinking. I hope that's it at least. If you have a torque wrench, I'd check everything to be sure.
If you're going to do any real off roading, you're going to want disconnects anyway......

It's a simple fix but if you paid someone to install it I'd be pissed. How can you trust everything was torqued to spec if they can do the obvious correctly.
