Bad strut rod bushings?

I've seen strut rods that looked straight while in the car, but on removal it was clear that they were bent where they went into the LCA on one end, and into the K frame on the other.

Same car, the K frame was bent and cracked right where the strut rod bushing hid it while it was all together.

Amazing thing was the car handled fine. But it got its K frame and strut rods replaced.

Sometimes you just need to get everything apart before you can see all the problems.
