Rear sway bar problem

I think I have a problem with my rear sway bar. Is it possible that it can be bent?
I have a feeling my car has probably been in an accident by the previous owner and sway bar might have got bent. If the sway bar is bent, will it cause a lot of toe?
both of my rear tires have worn out on the inside, right side being worse, and thats where the sway bar seems to be damaged.

that is your first step. How far are you dropped? Advanced tire wear on the inside is either toe or camber but I'm willing to bet it is both

dropped about 1.5 inches on H&R sport springs. The front tires are fine though, no problem at all.

typical honda. I would definitely get a computer alignment and go from there. It should tell you everything. Sounds like your rear toe is out of whack a bit

Thanks man. I tried taking care of this a while ago, but the Honda dealer said they can't do anything to it since its lowered.

tell honda to stick it up their ass and take it to an ASE certified alignment shop. Some place that specializes in alignments. Shouldn't cost more than 80 bucks or so to get all 4 wheels done unless there is a really nasty problem in the rear.
