January 4, 20242 yr I just fitted a 22mm whiteline front Sway bar and endlinks and to my untrained eye the different angle between the link and bar looks terrible (it's the same on both sides). The car also has lowering springs which of course make the angle worse. Is it going to be an issue? Surely it will wear the bushes out considerably faster at the very least?
January 4, 20242 yr Angle looks bad. Get some more washers on the upper bolt to space it back in line. you might need a longer upper bolt. I did something like this when I still had the narrow wagon swaybar with the wider sedan control arms.

They don’t look very lowered judging by the control arm in the pic you provided - assuming this is sitting on the ground and not jacked up in the air. If that is a pic of it jacked up with the wheel in the air can you post a pic of the car sitting on the ground the way it usually would? What model Subaru are we talking here and what springs are fitted? Cheers Bennie

It doesn't look lowered because of the angle I took the pic on. Edited January 7, 20242 yr by Raynman1989
