Steeda Parts questions, help Gus!

I reinstalled some Steeda suspension parts with red loctite. I will finish Sunday afternoon, if it doesn't rain. I have some questions for SteedaGus and other suspension experts. Do these look right?

014 - Is that the correct Driver side LCA orientation? the wide part toward the inside of the vehicle.
017 - Passenger side LCA orientation? once again the wide part towrad the inside of the vehicle.
022 - Driver side Panhard wrench location? as opposed to the passenger side.
024 - Should the forward side LCA bushing look like that??? The material is squished out of there.

I don't have the steeda LCA's, but looking back at the pic I have of the stock LCAs on my car (set my BMR's the same way without any issues) they are offset to the outside of the car like you have in your pictures.
The panhard rod should go from the axle on the driver's side to the underbody of the car like you have (that's the only way it will go anyway).

See if these pics help at all. I originally posted these because I had problems with my swaybar clearance. Somone pointed out it was upside down. Keep that in mind as it looks funny.

And yeah that bushing looks squished to hell. Did you overtorque it maybe? It should be 129 ft-lbs (Ford spec). My only other thought is maybe that your axle is too far over to one side or the other and the control arm is getting pulled to the side. If that's the case, you need to adjust your panhard bar
