Could the Radius Rod be bent?

Hi Guys,

My passenger Radius Rod Washer is cupping out slightly and the passenger front wheel sits about 1-2" to the left in the wheel well. This may have been caused when I hit a curb a year or two ago - I was squeezing towards the curb for a left-turn and skimmed or kissed the curb at about 10mph.

Since our OEM FR Radius Rod comes bent, I can't decide whether to replace it when I have the Radius Rod bushings replaced. I've been searching the forums and looks like the sub-frame is going to bend before the radius rod does. Sub-frame looks good.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
