Default rear sway bar sitting funny... endlinks are bent i think

Okay folks, so i just installed springs last week and i noticed my driver side was A LOT lower then my passenger side. so i looked under my car and something was off with the rear endlinks... on the driver side the sway bar is sitting behind the axle and on the passenger side it was sitting on the axle . i am assuming that the sway bar is ment to sit on the axle correct? either way my endlinks are shot. im gonna get some kartboy endlinks either way.

sorry if i sound dumb i just want to make sure,

thank you much!

the bar is flipped possibly.

Look under there. Are the endlinks bent?

Same thing happened to me. Put stiffer springs on and bent my endlinks just a couple days later. No worries. Just get kart boys and call it a day. Hell plenty of people bend endlinks totally stock.
