Looks like you have not changed the rubber donut bushings at the end of the sway bars. These have a huge impact on suspension geometry. check the bushings that hold the bar under the radiator too. This sway bar is not just a sway bar, it locates the lower control arms! The steering bushing is a normal failure (oem) item. It will not mess up your tires, it just drives you nuts.
