The one's on both of my '56 Patricians with Monroe weren't, YMMV.

The left one should have an offset bend. I checked 2 of them and the parts book also shows the slight bend for the Monroe system.
The right one is straight

Under GRP 15.202 the parts manual lists:
410734 all 55th; 56th right
410733 all 55th; 56th left

I'm looking at plate 31D and I don't see any bend in the tie rod end.
There is a pronounced bend in the "tube-cross" (15.2005) if that is what you are referring to but the Bendix part although different is bent also.
