Why did these bend?

that bushing's been flopping around for a while.......then again, who knows how long the links have been bent like that.

Def sway bar inversion. You can see on both shocks where the end of the bar has come in contact. Bodys are dented, pass is bent. You need longer links.

Yeah - mine are pushed out as well. I was thinking, when I get that far in my rebuilt, that I would make a retaining clip similar to the stock one that had a tab on both sides to keep it in. Seems like a common issue with that particular bush.

Given the symmetry of the bends, you sure the PO didn't bend them for some unknown reason?
