Default Pinched?

I have a 2.5" lift and everything has been doing fine so far. Its been on there about 6 months. But where the drag link attaches to the drop pitman arm, that bushing or whatever, right there, looks pinched. Is that normal? If not what do I need to fix it?

As the rod end moves it will rotate like pictured. As long as the rubber boot is not ripped letting dirt and grime in or grease out then you should be okay.

Good news! Just to make sure though, is it suppose to look like that on level ground?

Mine looks about the same and I just had it aligned so it must not be a big deal. I guess if your super concerned you could get a pitman arm with some drop to it.
