Idler Arm Help

I'm rebuilding the front end of the shark. It is a 68 Barracuda, 318 car, with power steering I got my kit from PSC in Phoenix, a company that I've used before and like. They sent a McQuay-Norris idler arm PN FA604. It seems to have to little "bend" in it. Compared to the old idler the end that sits in the cross link is about 1/2" higher and that's enough to keep the tie rod from clearing the torsion bar, let alone the exhaust and the oil pan. It doesn't appear to have the same height as the Pitman arm either. I had them send me another part in case it wasn't made properly, but they are both the same.
Has anyone had similar problems with McQuay-Norris Parts?
The car is still largely disassembled and sitting in jack stands back at the the torsion bar frame member, could it flex enough to cause this until I get the wheels on the ground?
I have access to a large press, would "tweaking" the new part be a good idea?
