Steering column bracket

Is my steering column bracket bent? thanks!

Sure looks that way, I guess the only way to know for sure is to compare it to another.

Looks bent to me.

Mine look much like that, and it's a stout piece, I don't think it is bent.  I have it off but assembled I could take it off and take a picture.

Update for picture

[RJChallenger]

It looks exactly the same as mine.

When I rebuilt my column a couple of months ago I noticed the same thing.  I dug around on the internet a bit and got the impression that they are supposed to be that way.  I have it in the car now, no problems.

No it is NOT bent.

[Burdar]

Mine was the same way.

Thanks guys!  I thought it looked bent but had nothing to compare it to.  Glad I checked here before getting out the BFH.

Guess I better take a closer look at mine... Never noticed that...

Yes, its bent, however, its supposed to be bent.  Everything is fine. install it and don't worry.
