That pic is the same one you posted of it being lower in post #1881. If it's not 'scrubbing or popping', then don't worry about it.

Sway bars only tie both sides together, making the suspension travel in unison. It is 'torsional', so it does allow for slight independent movement.

So if it doesn't 'scrub' or 'pop', it could be that there's enough load spread across both wheels and one or the other wheel isn't compressing as much.

Still not sure how it could make a 'pop' though.

The only way it could effect ride that I can think of is if one spring is higher or lower than the other. Or, if you pre-load one side or the other, which is done with either an adjustable bar or end links of different lengths.

If one spring is not in the pocket properly on either end, it could make your suspension uneven. Or, different rate springs. A sway bar would kind of make both sides the same height.

Measure your end links and see if they are the same length on both sides.

If you are not getting the answers you were hoping, why not call Hotchkis?
