Thread: Bent steering arm

The facts:-
This drag link is a push - pull link.
When in compression, even a very slight bend results in a major reduction in strength.
It is a critical steering component, and failure would result in loss of control.
In practical terms, it is impossible to completely straighten a tube such as this.

Conclusion:-
Straightening is only suitable for a field repair to get you home.
For safety, replace it.
