My bend when I took off my factory bar was on the passenger's side.
I also had the klunk after doing a whole bunch of suspension work at 90K miles (BAT kit and replaced pretty much all wearable suspension parts). I had already replaced my rear bar around 50K miles with the BAT bar.
I just replaced the worn swaybar bushings and "adjusted" the swaybar brackets and mounting plates with a hammer/punch to get everything back to square. I also "adjusted" the retaining rings on the swaybar to get them back into position. The klunk is 100% gone now.
The bushings didn't look all that worn either, but when compared with the new bushings you could see that the hole had been enlarged somewhat.
