Rear sway bar end link direction

[ctoombs]

Hey y’all,

While driving today I accidentally got a bit of a curb while turning right into traffic. No big deal, just went over it with the passenger side rear. Came down a little hard but maybe around 5mph.

Continued driving home with zero issues or changes in driving behavior from the rig.

When getting out I noticed that my passenger side end link for my sway bar looks to be rotated if you will

The other side (driver) looks normal and is rotated so it’s effectively splayed outward or to the left

Curious if this link is an issue facing the incorrect way or if it will slowly but surely work its way back to the correct position. Additional context, I'm running 3 inch lift front and rear. Prior to this, the links were both angled outward.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like the photos did not upload as intended, so I added them as attachments to this post.

looks ok to me, you can take an adjustable wrench and rotate it back to the neutral position if you want but it's not necessary...there's nothing wrong with it the way it is.

those look like aftermarket links, very beefy and have a grease fitting:thumb:

Those have a resemblance to my links (just the tubes). Honestly, leaving them the way they are won't hurt anything, and they'll most likely straighten out some as you drive. But, you could always put a wrench on them, and straighten them out pretty easily & quickly.

Thanks all, I took a pair of vice grips and turned it back no issues.

Definitely didn’t affect anything but the OCD in me just wouldn’t let it slide.
