alignment question

[Curtis Fisher <Curtis.Fisher@trw.com>]

I just got the car back from alignment and the tie rods are angled
differently.  Instead of going straight out from the rack and trailing back
to the wheel.  One is angled up and the other is angled down.  They don't
seem to hit anything and other than looking odd, seem to function ok. The
rods are pretty chewed up from the pipe wrench used to make 'adjustments'.
Some club members recommended this shop.
Anyone have any comments to reassure me this is normal?
