One thing you should realize is (at least on NA and I think turbo stock sways) there is little to no preload on the swaybar. Unless you are putting force on them (ie going around a turn and leaning the car) there should be no affect by the sway bar. Unless maybe the sway bar was really bent, then maybe....

as stated sway bar will not cause chassis lean.
i had this problem on my very first 944 na. turned out the car had been previously wrecked and the rear bumper/nameplate panel was just slightly tweaked, so that even with the suspension straight and level, the car still LOOKED a little cockeyed.
