TeraFlex Leveling kit installed.. question about new sway bar links
Installed yesterday.
After inspecting it, I have a question about the way the new front swar bar links are installed..
I didn't see the links prior to them being installed.. It looks like the ends are welded to the rods at a slight angle which would make them install only one way... Here is a pic of the drivers side which I think is installed correctly...
The pick-up point on the axle is out-board of the sway bar end, and it appears that the links are welded on an angle to conform to this..
However this the passenger side..
The pick-up point is out-board of the sway bar end as well, and it looks like the ends of the links are welded on a similar angle, but it also looks like the link is installed backward. It should be flipped 180 degrees.
I asked the installer and he said it is correct
He said it gets installed based on the how the hold in the bushing is positioned.
There's no binding or rubbing on surface roads, but I worry that anything more and they are going to bind...
Thoughts??

Side note... the stance is perfect for the driving I do.
It's subtle yet dramatic..if that is possible.

Yup, flip the passenger side link around and you'll be all set 
Better yet, get JKS quicker disconnect links and toss these. Nothing sucks more than going underneath your Jeep to wrench your links loose before wheeling. JKS's come off in 5 seconds flat, per link.
