The lower control arms or the panhard bar must be binding. Bolts too tight or the bushings are shot.
Only thing it can be.

yes i asjusted the rear sway bar and big difference its a little loose but not near what it was , its just tweeking now , but thanks you guys are great , its a little hard b/c i have one working hand so its very slow but , this is my first rear install and its not rocket science but there are tricks of the trade , but its getting better , i went with aftermarket bushings for the sway bar and tweeked the sway bar with a little help of a pry bar more towards the back of the housing and its coming together
