okay so one of my bolts came off of my sway bar link thing after i lowered it and when i was looking on the side that had the bolt attached to see the size of the nut i noticed that it looked like the bar attached to the sway bar looked bent down... and the same on the other side then i looked in the read and there seemed to be another part bent down on both sides (dunno how to explain it) :nails: ...please if anyones lowered there car or knows what im talking about tell me i didn't eff something up bad :pray: i have pictures that i'll post when i figure out how

hmm not sure because of the angle that the pics where taken at but it could be because of your camber depending on what kind of springs you installed.

i installed the tein s tech. the top 2 pics im concerned about the thing in the wheel looking like its dipping down and on the last pic its suppose to be rotated a little bit...the peice come out straight and then bends down and at the end attaches to the sway bar

yeah the piece that bends from the last pic is the sway bar which is made like that, again the way you took the pics of the first 2 is from a different angle but it looks fine. are you hearing any weird noises since you installed the springs?

ya lol its really hard to take pics under my car since my fat head wont fit under there haha... uhm only sound i hear it a knocking in the front left but ive found that the cause is my strut bar being lose and not bolted in...i was about to run to a hardware store and see if they had a 17mm nut to put on there...or should i go to toyota and get the nut? i don't want to order a full new strut bar like the dumb alignment place said i needed to

you don't need to buy a new strut bar because that's not the problem, the pic of the sway bar is from the front which is fine. did you remove the nut and not try to screw it back on though?

If you are talking about those pieces that are twisted, that is normal they are suppose to look like that
