sway bar
I was in a little fender bender a while back. When I did my engine swap, I pulled everything off including the swaybar. I noticed that it wasn't "symmetrical" are both sides bent equally? It's not bent that much more on one side, but I don't want it to infere with the drivability.
thanks in advance

Should be symmetrical.
Everything I've ever owned GM has had symmetrical sway bars :-)
It prolly got tweaked a little.

Bent bar can cause stree on other suspension components and keep them partially loaded.
Also would make for uneven handling depending on whats already loading from being bent and what deflection it has from not being symetrical any longer.
Could give your car the twiitches,

sway bars don't bend very easily, I'd R2 the sway bar and look for other damage as well, something ells more important could also be bent
