5 year old multi-stemmed Japanese Tree Lilac leaves get twisted and misshapen every year. It is only slightly larger than when planted and has only flowered the last 2 years and not well. It was planted as a feature specimen but has never performed well and looks scraggly with suckers a frequent problem. Is this normal and if I replace it what would be a great feature small replacement tree or large shrub for full sun on a northeast corner?

Jap Lilac Tree
We have a three year old Japanese lilac tree planted in our demonstration garden at the office. I have noticed several things about this tree.
1. It leafs out early and the last two years has suffered some late spring freeze damage. This has resulted in deformed leaves.
2. It also seems to be susceptible to herbicide injury. When the lawn to the south is sprayed the leaves twist.
3. Trunk injury is common as this is a thinned barked tree. Damage to the trunk will slow water and nutrient movement. The result is slowed growth.
I think your tree might just be having a difficult time establishing, just like ours. Only you can decide whether to replace or give it more time.
I am attaching a link to a fact sheet on recommended trees for the KC area.
