Default sway bar/endlink question

installed 23mm itr sway bar today and my endlinks looked very vertical, but when i lowered it they kinda slanted inward (running parallel with my shock tower ***.). is this normal or do i need to buy some spacers or washers to correct it?
experiencing minor vibration-like noise from the back

seems okay...if the links are at the same angle, or symmetrical, that's probably how they will sit. I had noise issues with solid links and aftermarket bushings no matter how much grease I used. went back to oem style bushings and the noise went away and the swaybar wouldn't walk anymore.

the noise doesn't annoy me i just wanna make sure that nothing is being twisted. what do you mean the sway bar wouldn't walk anymore?

On my Subaru the front bar would "walk" side to side under really hard driving with poly/greased bushings. I think it got pulled back and forth with how much suspension travel Soob's have and solid endlinks with no give. After a hard canyon run you could park and look underneath- one link would be near vertical and the other pulled way to the inside.

Check your torque on everything- undo and re-tourque. Grease all pivot points- links too. It may get better over time.

yeah i had a problem torquing everything down, i had some problems getting my bulky torque wrench down there and my endlinks require an allen wrench and a 17mm wrench to tighten so i couldn't torque them down.
