Hi there. The sway bar link should not affect the tilting of the tire as that is the camber angle of the tire. That should only change when the vehicles height is changed or if the strut was loosened. It can also occur if the part you installed was not the correct length. If you need to have this tilting of the tire checked, consider YourMechanic, as a certified mechanic can come to you to [diagnose what is going on with the suspension] https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/brakes-steering-and-suspension-inspection
