Does this look bent to you?

[kerryjcox]

I've gotten most of the engine components removed and am about to start on the wheels when I noticed my right front tie rods may be a bit bent.
Should I invest in replacements or can I clean these up and perhaps straighten them out? Or are my eyes just playing tricks on me?
I am open to any suggestions.

Sorry, just realized I used the wrong prefix to my message thread. Apologies for any confusion. Still new at this.

Bent for sure. Time to replace.

That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Yes, not even worth trying to straighten just replace

Good to know. Easier to just buy new anyways.
I don't want there to be any issues when I start driving this again.

I replaced my tie rods, FJ70 TREs and clamps. I am going to use an FJ80 power steering box to make it all work.
