Default Front Sway Bar

I am replacing the bushings in my front end and when I pulled the front sway bar off I noticed that bar was not shaped the same on both sides. One side has a small bend about four inches from where the bar is supposed to bend at a 90 degree angle.

My question is, is this normal for a 1981?

Thanks

I'll repond for you Paul,
You always do a great job running out and snapping the perfect picture for
someones problem. Even if they don't appreciate it, lots of us do.

They may have internet access from work, only.
If they don't get back by tomorrow noon, then we can attack.
