Does this look right?

I recently had the front end of my 92 FJ80 aligned. The shop told me that it was tough to do and they had to work on it to losen some things.
I just checked out the work and something looks odd to me. The tie rod end seems to be bent. Check out the link and let me know if I need to be concerned. Thanks for your help.

Yeah, that tie rod end needs to be turned so it's sitting parallel to the steering arm. If you want to fix it all you have to do is loosen the collar on the tie rod and then turn the TRE up, then retighten the collar.

Good luck
