You'll need to overlook some of the suspension modifications but maybe this perspective will help you!

The ends curve up yes. I remember putting it the other way one time trying to get the end links to fit better. The bar hit the frame, the bolted on part behind the end link. It's possible to clearance it but better just to run it like shown.
The bearing failed from track abuse.

Racing is all I do with the car.
What mods did u do to the bearing to help it cool.
I do worry about failure at the speeds that I run 135+ on the straights.

I was making a joke, it fell apart and can get some cooling air now.
They typically give a good amount of warning before going bad.
