Hmm that does look a little extreme. My link angles almost that much but it's on an adjustable bar. When at the softest setting it would be straight up. Like you said the bar seems too short. Can you compare it to the one you're replacing? Maybe use a fabric tape measure to get the bar's overall length.

My strut rods don't have the castle nut. Besides, I don't see the point of it being that far away. Only a trip to the alignment rack can tell you where the strut rods should be.

do you think that it is so extreme that it will hurt anything or keep the suspension from operating properly?
you said your strut rods dont have the castle nut...are they maxed out like mine?

I don't see any problems with it being angled, but the bushings can't be tightened too much or they will bind.

The strut rods on mine are maxed out but they're maxed evenly so that caster is the same on both sides, so one side may be more than the other.
