Default installed jks sway links...

ok, let me start off with saying what i have. 2011 2 door sahara 2" coil spacer front and rear, factory rims with 295/70/17's and 1.5 spidertrax wheel spacers. i recently bought this jk and it already had the rubi take off suspension on it with 2" coil spacer and shock extenders, i noticed that my sway bar was not level and pointing to down so i bought the jks adjustable links cut to size and installed. i also noticed that my axle isnt completely centered. they did not install a tracbar relocation bracket. after i installed the links i noticed that the passenger side rear link is not exactly straight up and down its got like a lean to it. is this ok? is this because the axle isnt centered? will it hurt anything like this??? thanks fellow jk'ers

I would flip the bottom joint around on the links. that should straighten them out.

It looks like the bottom is on the wrong side. I could be wrong though, never installed these before. But it looks like if you switched the position it would be straight

my driver side rear is installed like this and its straight up and down. if i do this one a different way by moving the bottom ball side to the tire side to make it straight will that mess up anything since both bottom and top ball sides will be on the tire side? or not really?
