Tie Rod question
There was a weird noise from down there a while ago and I checked and my tie rod looked like that. So is my tie rod bent or is it supposed to look like that?
Heres the side I think is bent (passenger)
Heres the other side for reference (driver)

Tie-rods will tend to lay at an angle, but yours doesnt look quite right
One way to test, place a jack under the joint, with wheels on the ground initially
apply just a bit of pressure and see if the joint moves "excessively"
This is subjective, but you will see "freeplay" (if there is any) and lever it about
repeat the test with that wheel raised slightly off the ground
compare each side with the test
