I would still suggest having a four wheel alignment done as that will assist with handling and tyre wear. It might feel OK but you might still be killing your tyres. Well done on changing them yourself, though, not sure I'd have the confidence to that.
You can push the rubber bush at the top of the drop link further up the sway bar, then slide it back down and over the drop link top nut after tightening. A bit of lubricant on the sway bar helps it slide. The bush is to stop the top of the drop link rubbing on the hand brake cable, which it will probably do while going over bumps etc.
Good video. The rubber is terribly cracked on my 2013 with only 24K miles. My car came from TX. Heat, perhaps? My question: Where did you source the parts?? Thanks!

I had exactly the same problem as this guy but i opted for a professional alignment afterward.
