Bent stabilizer/swaybar link???

[JamesRam]

So I changed out my old shocks that were shot on Sunday for a new set of Bilsteins, while doing so I found my driver's side stabilizer/swaybar link was bent. So I went and got a new mopar one from dodge today and replaced it. Anybody know what could have caused the old one to bend?

Any big bump could have done it, or a pot hole, especially if the tires were turned. It happens.
