Hey y'all!
I'm in the middle of doing front end work on my 2000 AWD Astro.

Instead of bushings, I've done new control arms upper and lower, along with tie-rods, shocks, and stabalizer links.

Everything is installed except for the passenger side stabalizer link as I am unable to get the nut threaded on the bottom. The bolt is sitting too close to the inside wall of the the lower CA for there to be any clearance for the bushing/nut combo. The link is pretty much installed, minus the bushing & nut on the bottom.

Comparing to the drive side, the end of the sway bar is sitting in a different position relative to the passenger side, so its not in a symmetrical position. Is it supposed to sit symmetrically?

Passenger Side ^ _____________Driver Side^

Passenger Side ^ _____________Driver Side^

Any insight here? Maybe my sway bar is bent?

thanks for your time!

Maybe the sway bar needs recentered?
Move it left/right?
