i might be dumb for asking.. and i dont have another one to compare it to side by side. and i guess it wouldnt hurt to get other peoples opinions.. soo

-is my traction rod tweaked?
-or is this how they are supposed to look stock?
-or are traction rods right and left side specific?

When you lower the car a lot, it tends to twist those. Just take off your wheel and jack the suspension up and you will see it twist.

Yes, it is tweeked from the 10-20 years its been on the car. Go out and buy a set of PBM traction arms, to fix the problem.
