Going through my doors thoroughly and running into lots of PO probs.

Firstly, the connecting rod to the driver side exterior lock is mangled. Anyone know where the factory bends are supposed to be? Pics? The pics I found appear straight and that can't be right. I want to get it perfect or else I risk listening to rattles inside the door on the road.

Also has anyone sourced replacements for all the white plastic pivot bushings used throughout the latch mechanism?
