The bent tie rod is the clue. More than likely you went over a hard snow or ice ridge that pushed up on the tie rod and bent it. The other possibility is you put a big side load on one wheel or the other and the tie rod just wasn’t strong enough, so it bent.
Don’t worry, it happens when doing loader work or driving over rough ground.
The good news is that it is easy to remove the tie rod and straighten it back. It does not have to be perfect because you have a fair amount of adjustment in the tie rod ends anyway.
Been there, done that. I have a shop press that made the job easy, but it is not needed to get the tie rod back to nearly straight.
