New Moog Tie rod ends- bent, or am I on crack?

Hi, just wanting to clarify something. The threaded joints on my new Moog tie rod ends aren't "straight up". That's because they're swivel joints, right? I can see the swivel around the base of the stud, inside the joint.

Just making sure I'm not stupid or anything! I tried to move the studs by hand but either I'm not pushing hard enough, or they're actually bent.

Oh- left side is the outer tie rod end, Moog #ES2226RL. Right tie rod end is the inner, Moog #ES2227RL.

Thanks!! If they're bent I want to order replacements asafp!

Yep, you're on crack!!!! :sillylol:

They swivel around in there. If you slide a piece of pipe or something over them, you'll be able to move them around.
