Default Is this normal

Have been looking at possibly buying an exhaust plate cover for my new C6 and was looking at the rear end and I noticed something hanging down slightly.

Seems my rear sway bar is mounted crooked on the car. Is this normal or will it affect the handling of the car? It is bothersome to me because of the symmetry not to mention if this puts uneven load on the suspension components during driving.

Not that it makes any difference other than it bothers you,, the two brackets that secure it to the rear cradle have some slop in them and you can move one UP and the other one DOWN to get it level.

I wish that was all I had to worry about.
