left & right front stabilizer link question
When installing new tires today the tech noted that the left front stabilizer link pin appears to be much closer to the strut than the right front is.
An alignment check (@ GM dealer) one week ago found no fault.
Recognizing that he might not have exactly the right corvette terminology, does anyone know if this difference is standard and if not what remedy should be considered.
Thanks.

The two sides of the car suspension should be symetrical...jack up the front and take a look at the bar yourself. As long as the car is lifted the same way on both sides, the bar should be in the same position on both sides. If he had only one corner lifted, then that would explain why one side looked different from the other.

This is how I jack up my car, one side first, put stands on one side. Then jack up the other and do the same:
Before this sequence, while one side of car remains on ground -Suspension is stressed when only one side up - would be difficult to work on suspension components - such as end link.
I changed out the end links while the car is up and level, suspension is relaxed, end links R/R is without resistance.
Maybe that give you some reference.
