torque arm bent?

the torque arm on my car is curved i dunno if this is what it looks like from the factory or not i would imagine not. the car had like 158,000 miles on it with a 305 5 spd now its a 350 auto and has had a good many passes on it and been drove hard. i dont know if all these yrs have caused it to bend or what. also the rearend doesnt sit centerd. the car doesnt appear to have been wrecked hard. it has stock suspension other than a bmr panhard rod which i bought hopping to center the rear end. the 7.5 that was in it was off centerd and the 9 inch in it now is off centerd. i dont know if maybe the lca's are bent or the torque any suggestions? the panhard rod is adj and still didnt center it up and when u pull it over trying to center the rearend its like its binding up. so i would imagine it would have to be the lca's or the torque arm. any help out there?

it flexs pretty easily so that should keep it from bending since its flexible. if that makes sense.

Hey cool someone else in Greenville. I just put new springs, shocks/struts, panhard bar, and wonderbar on this weekend, and I cant even get out the driveway to run it because of all the ice .

Also, when I was under the car, I didnt really look closely but my torque arm seemed curved as well.
