well what is the make and model of your jeep... if its a 98GC (going by your GC in your name, and 98 in your forum name) i have one aswell...
the tie rod shouldn't be bent, it attaches to the drag link which does bend back towards the right tie rod.

and i have no rubbing what so ever on my track bar... only thing i could see that may rub on it would be the pan's dust shield, which i removed a looong time ago... but even then shouldn't cause any damage...

if i get my jeep on the hoist tomorrow (to install my new exhaust) i'll post up some pictures of the front end so you have something to compare to.
