Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure they're all bent like that specifically to clear the spare tire. I don't think the spare banging around would have put such an even bend in it, anyway.


The rod in my '85 4Runner was pretty much straight front-back, it did have something of bend in the up-down direction. But it has been about 12 years since I yanked that rod out of there.

Maybe the pickups are set up a little different.
