Sway bar link?

[MyFirstDiesel]

Can anyone verity what needs replaced on this? It's leaning pretty good one way compared to the driver side that is perfectly straight. I think it may be the bushings in the sway bar bracket. Any advice is appreciated

Is it normal? I don't see why that would be normal if the other side is perfectly straight

It looks like the sway bar is just off to one side. You could probably loosen the sway bar brackets up and push it over to even it out if you really wanted to.

I just got new ones. But this led me to a whole new set of problems. Is this thing in the picture that my finger is on a dust cover for the axle seal?

It's not leaking any fluid which makes me think it's simply a dust cover

That seal that your touching is no big deal. I ripped mine off because it was loose like that.

That's just a dust seal, the oil seal is inside the diff behind the carrier bearings. Those aren't 100% needed if it's a street truck, but if you ever go off road it's nice to have so your axle tubes don't get filled with water, mud or w/e.

Thank god...hahahaha I was getting nervous cuz of how long and difficult it looked when my buddy replaced his axle seal
