Guys, I have a question about what the sway bar for a 1st Gen Trac should look like. I was able to buy the discontinued Hellwig 7648 Sway Bar for the 2003 Trac just before I traded it in last month, but never installed it. I got it directly from Hellwig, after their national sales manager had the folks at the warehouse check their old returns pile, on the condition that it was non-returnable since it was discontinued.
When I was taking the photos below so I could post it for selling, I noticed that the end link on one side (passenger side I think?) is slightly curved, while the other side is straight, so it isn’t perfectly symmetrical. I cant check fitment because the old truck is gone. I’ve looked at some other photos of the Hellwig and EE sway bars online, and it sort of looks like that end should be slightly curved, but it’s hard to tell.
Does anyone whose installed one of those (or the EE bar) tell me if it should have a slight curve? I want to give it to my brother for his 2004 Trac, but don’t want to to do that if it's defective or won’t fit or would be unsafe.
