Its easy to fix your steering wheel. Just get your front wheels straight. Look for the clamp looking thing on the drag link that is held on with two bolts loosen them and turn the clamp which ever way that turns your steering wheel to the right (don't remember if its up or down) till its centered. Then re tighten the bolts. Also is the noise a popping sound?

got the grease they didnt have lucas, but i got valvoline since that was literally the only brand they had.... also got one of those pitarm bolt or whatever its called that we rented that puller for, got the first bolt out then the second bolt broke the tool so had to go back to autozone... gonna try this again

Your sway bar shouldn't pop, maybe cv boots. Get to an open spot lock the tires all the way one direction and go in circles if it pops that's what it is. If you have to im pretty sure tom got his out with a hammer.

Not exactly sure, had the popping issue on an old jeep was told it was cv boots and to try that test. With the quick discos it looks like you just have the lower mounting bolt backwards

The lower part is on the wrong side on the sway bar bracket. All lift kits are goin to give you problems that why most just build there own and get what they want it cost more but no upgrade in the long run.

This is correct. Flip it around. It won't be perpendicular to the ground on the other side either but don't let that hurt your feelings. Oh and Lube up everything on that RE kit.

Yep. As long as you didn't have it coming out of a rubber boot (that just burst under pressure)

If they don't get a sticker or reminder they don't know that it need to be changed or anything else.
