Rayco rg100 steering tie rod is it straight or supposed to have a bend in it?

[MOE]

I'm going through my recently purchased rg100 and fixing a few things along the way. The steering tie rod has a bend in it. It looks like it might have come that way but it also looks like someone might have run it into something and bent it. I can't find a decent pic in the manual. any one have one or know if it's supposed to be bent? Thanks
