it can be taken off and straightened with a vice, using heat if necessary.
it should be readily apparent if it is bent by the way the ends interface in the slots they fit in.
is the car acting squirrelly when you get on and off the gas?
if so the bushes on the link c are prob shot. they are a wear item on 124s and are pretty cheap and easy to fix. when loose the car will act as if the whole rear end is about to fall off. (but it is not).

I'm not the primary driver of the car, but from what I can tell, no, the car is not acting squirrelly when I get on and off the gas. To be honest, I'm only interested in link C because my mech told me that the bushings were shot and the arm was pushing into the housing itself. I only noticed the bent link A->B while inspecting link C.
I'd prefer replacing both, cuz as you can see from the pic, things are pretty rusty down there.....
I've been searching on the web and am now 99% sure that link C is called a "Thrust Arm" but no idea what A->B is called....... The EPC is useless here because the EPC pic isn't clear enough to tell what's what - at least for me....
