Axle problems/ sway bar rubbing against frame

I'm pretty sure that I need a new adjustable track bar because I just put a 4 inch lift on few months ago and my coils are not straight up and down, I was reading on a forum that if they are not straight up, but at a slight slant, then your axle isnt centered correctly. Well my sway bar is pulling towards the passengers side and its rubbing against my frame, no matter how many times I try to space the sway bar back, it ALWAYS seems like its wanting to get pulled over to the passengers side, and its hella noisy too, it squeaks when the sway bar is rubbing against that frame, I got new tires put on, my alignment is so off, the passenger tire is already showing wear, and they are 3 months old. I went to Firestone to get a alignment done, and I am 12 degrees off on it I was told. They had no clue why I was that far off either. The instructions just told us to drill over like a 3/4'' over and just bolt the stock track bar on to the right of the existing hole. I am still confused as to whats the cause of my sway bar sliding over so much to the point where its rubbing, why my coils are not straight up and down, and also why I am 12 degrees off. I was also told that the control arms are too short, however I don't see why the lift would come with shorter control arms, it came with arms. Thanks.

Re: Axle problems/ sway bar rubbing against frame

It came with the long arms, short arms, for both the front and rear sides. It came with 4 longer coil springs, sway bar drop brackets, however the track bar was not included, it said in the instructions that I need to flip the stock bar over and then drill a hole 3/4 inch over to the right, on the axle where the track bar bolts on to. It didnt come with longer brake lines though.

Re: Axle problems/ sway bar rubbing against frame

I have been away from this forum for a while, in part because the advices that I got from others helped me a lot. I could say more about your last post but........ THE answer to your question is in the first eleven words of your post,,before you thoght they did not care.
Tolerance.
