I just replaced my lower ball joints and both caster arms as well as an upper control arm.
I got an alignment but something seemed off still so i checked under the car and noticed these and the driver side one is bent and the passenger side one is alittle more straight..... can someone tell me what they are and could they be causing my alignment to shift.

front sway bar endlinks....
contact FIGS as he makes aftermarket ones.
no, wont affect alignment, check inner/outer tie rods/ball joints/castor arm bushing

well do u think that it could attribute to the steering feeling alittle loose... I mean the one that is bent isn't supposed to be right?

So bad sway bar endlinks cause no problems whatsoever? my driver side is supposed to be bent? Can someone chime in ? I'm confused? i just wanna know about whats in the picture and what problems not getting that fixed would cause
Endlinks. If they are broken or loose it won't affect your car drastically, but it'll make your handling suck
^^^^^thank you thats the answer i was looking for now can somoene tell me if these would be ok..........http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=992921
Moog is pretty popular with endlinks. Mine went out last time and I was doing a lot of research and they recommended Moog and some other brand.
Just purchased some moogs from rock auto hoping they make things more stable
In the first picture(driver side) the endlink is slanted isn't is supposed to be straight like the 2nd pic(passenger side)??

Depends, if you jacked up the car on one side, the endlinks won't have the same position (due to twisting of the swaybar).
I took those pictures just looking under the car without it being jacked up so one side being slanted really bad and one being straight is not a good thing right lol? thats all i really wanna know
haven't tried that yet but by the looks of those that can't be how there supposed to be can it
