Ken, I would straighten it and reinforce it .

Strightening may not be that easy, and there isn't really a practical way to reinforce it. Besides which, it is plenty strong enough already. After extering enough pressure to bend it, I'd be more concerned about the inner joint on it anyway.

The weakest part is the inner joint, this can become worn with repeated abuse amd the inner tods will need replacing. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Thanks Phil, that's what bent.
The thing is, I don't know exactly when it bent. Was it when the binding occured, or when the flapping tire occured? We can guess, but really not know.
Again, we're happy with the results. We were able to get off the trail for one. And as a bonus, we drove 9+ hours home.
All-in-all it was ok.
