Bent radius rod

[MatthewCervi]

The radius rod (tension strut) isn't supposed to be bent in this plane, is it? Assuming it isn't, does anyone have a good one for sale?

And here I thought I was going to get away with just refreshing the front end bushings and control arms on my car...

Answering my own question: now that I've removed the other side I know the answer is "no"...the rod should be flat.
