L2501 Tie Rod (bent) ?

[sgerksinwi]

Hi
Newbie here thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this forum.
First time with a Kubota orange
My other was a AC WD 14...wrong orange..
I pick a used L2501 with a 130 hours.
My question is do you think the tie rod is bent or is it like this from the factory?
Thanks in advance on replies.

I believe that slight bend is a factory bend. Here is a picture of my brand-new (now has 215 hours) L2501 and you can see the bends.
