Thanks for your thoughts and expertise, Lee. The arm being bent makes sense given how far in the opposite bushing has been pushed. The good news is that I was going to have to get an alignment anyway because back when I thought it was just a blown tire I decided it would be a good time to install th...

Here are some not so great pictures. The arm sure looks bent to me.

The passenger side delta link bushing (the one with the 3 bolts) is certainly broken with the cylindrical part shoved at least an inch past where should mate with the part with the vertical bolts.
