Default Rear on stands - are the sway bar end links supposed to be splayed out?

So I got the strano bar attached... ish. Need to dig out my torque wrench to tighten everything down, but I'm curious - hanging there (no load on the suspension, it's hanging free) the sway bar end links are WAY splayed out.

To illustrate, if you look at it from behind, they look like: /_______\

Stock, they were much more vertical.- |__________| (of course, both have a dip in the middle of hte bar)

Now, I don't have load on the suspension, and they're not tight yet, but are they supposed to do that??

with the rear hanging down, yeah. as long as its normal with the car on the ground (as its meant to be), itll be fine.
