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.

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?
