Hey Bob,
What if I don't have a hydraulic press handy?LOL A machine shop could do it
right and I assume check for the fatigue cracks or whatever too?
Thanks,
Linda

Use a hydraulic press and press it as straight as you can, then spray paint
it a light color. Check regularly, if you see cracks in the paint (the dark
metal and light paint give good contrast), replace it, it's likely stressed
and fatigued.?

Remember to get the alignment checked for Toe-in, after straightening.?
