Default Bowlegged Dod Legs?

Are these rear sway bar down links from my 77 T/A suppossed to be curved at all? Wonder how they got like this. Also does anyone sell the OE replacement bushings for these?

Very likely at some time that the car was dragged with a chain, someone hooked to the link. BFH will straighten them back to OEM spec and they can be re used.

As hard as I've cornered all my T/As in autocross with Goodyear blue streaks, I've never bent a link, so likely the chain hooked to it would be a plausible cause.
