Does anyone else have bent...

sway bar connecting rods (not sure if that's what they are called or not)? I'm referring to the little 6" or so rods that are bolted to the front sway bar and then go down to the lower control arm.

Slid under the truck to see if anything was loose or not since my truck seems to roll from side to side a lot around corners (and then kicks on the TCS) and noticed they are bent on both the driver and passenger sides.

Then I am also curious if you think this could be the cause of my excessive body roll?

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated

Thanks!

Its a 2009. Do you think the dealer would cover it under warranty since I added a leveling kit and larger tires?

They are bent at different angles, the driver side seems to be bent more.

If you are actually looking under a truck, can you also look at the angle of the sway bar? I thought the sat mostly up against the truck, but mine seems to be hanging down at a 45 degree angle

Thanks for your replies!

Hopefully this works. Some pics of the end links and the sway bar angle I was questioning.
