Did something hit the tire rod? Or did your tire hit a rock or stump or something else which caused the bend?
The trails I was running when I bent it have some very deep ruts across the trail, but they were filled with snow. I was jamming along about 15 mph hit one and then a deep hole that looked only like a shallow mud puddle and it stopped me dead in my tracks, that bent it some and as we were on snow and ice I kept driving it and it bent further to the point you see in the pictures.

When I hit something with the right front tire, this happened.

May want to give it a thorough check if you haven't already.

@lee Here is several detailed pictures I took removing my tie rod today, in case you want to substitute any in the above. Thank god for chain hoist I don't want to ever lie down in the mud to get one off. Wasn't bad at all standing up getting to it.

Yes that is the correct part #. You also need a boot clamp as you will not get the original off and back on without a special tool. Check beginning of post for an alternative size clamp by member Lee. I used his suggestion it worked perfectly.
