Savvy tie rod?

I have the aluminum unbreakable unbendable tie rod. Takes rock hits a little better. I know it can cause other issues but my original currectlync tie rod had a big S bend after getting smacked by my dropped drag link bracket.

Did it work with your factory drag link or did u have to replace that with it also?
