Sway bar link moved?

hey everyone im looking to a reason why the metal piece near the swaybar bushing moved? the picture is on the driver side and the passenger side metal piece is pretty much next to the bushing. im planning to upgrade the sway bars to the whiteline set for front and rear.

im just trying to figure out what caused it and how to prevent it.

im lowered i dont know by how much. but on fortune auto 500 coils

I always copy the link, press the yellow/black insert image button and then paste into the pop up

I think the sway bar sliding a couple mm is normal. The sway bar is held in place by a soft bushing and clamped down by a bracket only held on by 2x 22lb bolts. I’ve personally taken the time to center the bars perfectly and they always find their way to being “not perfect”

It's fine. Those aluminum collars keep the bar in check.
