The mount Tab? Looks fine to me but if you want it Ben, any tire shop should have s torch. Have them heat it up and bend it back. I had to go through that before.

It looks bent to me. Same thing happened to me also. I just took the sway bar link off and grabbed the biggest crescent wrench I had a bent it back. Took 5 minutes and no money.

It is bent. Point was its not going to hurt anything. I bent my links around the tie rod and it pushed the tabs out like that. I drove it like that for s while, bent them back when I sold it.

like any metal if you bend it cold you will weaken it. I would leave it as was matt said.
