Default Trackbar misplacement

I was reandomly checking underneath the Jeep and noticed that the guys that worked on it bolted the trackbar at the axle on the OUTSIDE of the bracket
I drove the Jeep like that for about 200 miles, could something have been affected? could the trackbar be bent??

I'd think the bracket would bend before the bar in that case.

The bracket could be twisted out, the bolt could be bent, and if the bolt or bracket are bent, the holes in the bracket and trackbar could be wallowed out a bit. Wouldn't be a bad idea to pull it off and check everything.
