Radius Arm Question

I was redoing my front end yesterday and I noticed that the front passenger side (right) radius arm has a slight bed up-wards... I don't think this is normal as the driver side is straight. Or is this normal? I mean that is like cast iron or something so i don't know how someone would bend it like that and not crack it! Any ideas?

They can bend without cracking. If I were you I would find a straight one and replace the bent radius arm when you get a chance.
