I used offset, but I have a ZR2.
Why don't you crawl under and look at what you currently have?

Are the offset tie rods physically bent? I wasn't sure if the use of the word offset meant a physically bent tierod, or there is some connecting area that has an offset or different length. Hence my question.

The meaning of offset to me would not being straight.It has a slight curve to it similar to the trailblazer type.
