2012 Eibach front Sway Bar too big?

Hey guys, quick question. I bought the Eibach sway bars for the front and wear of my 2012 Cvic Si.
I hear a scraping noise similar to sound. Turning I hear absolutely nothing. When I decelerate the car
pulls to the left. Did I screw something up? I followed the guide exactly and I had my buddy who is
an Army mechanic help me.

Any assistance on the matter is a appreciated!!

Front sway bar: 24mm

Something very important was left loose?
Lower control arm mount?
Subframe?
IDK, revisit with wrenches everything that you touched.

I had done just that. The only thing I noticed was the drive shaft scrapping against the sway bar. Paint chipped, nothing else. I tooke it to Fire Stone and they said some sort of steering bolt broke off. Probably from these shitty Military base roads.

Wrong length end links?

Did they fix it? Did that solve the pulling problem?

I kinda doubt it was the fault of the roads unless it was a fluke failure.

Was it a bolt anyone had previously touched/loosened/removed?

According to them the control arm hit the strut and damaged it. A bolt broke off that held the control arm. They replaced a bolt where the sub frame is. It drives fine now.
