Default Sway bar question. Searched.

This is a very simple question, but I couldnt find any relevant info anywhere. I believe my rear sway bar is bent. Ive done everything short of taking it off.. Its stock.

My car sits off in the back. I have coilovers and I have to raise one significantly higher than the other in order to get an even ride height. This is a semi-recent issue. When I jack the car up one wheel hangs much lower than the other one. I believe this is due to the sway bar being bent right there around the end link causing one side of the bar to sit much higher than the other.

I am looking for an expert opinion if possible. Suspension info isnt nessecary. I put all the relevant info honestly. But, just for the people who really dont understand sway bars... I am using aftermarket shocks and coil-overs.

I will be taking the car in for an alignment very soon, I guess Ill find out then unless someone can confirm my issue beforehand and save me $$ on 2 alignments. Which leads me to anyone know of any sway bar deals going on right now?

Just disconect one end of the swaybar and see if it fixes your problem, if not, then its not your swaybar.. I have never heard of a bent swaybar so this issue is slightly odd..

Never heard of a bent swaybar either, but when i bought my 92 lude si i found the rear swaybar was snapped right in two. the welded tubular bars seem to be pretty weak, so i believe bending one could be possible.
