bent axel
Can't give you any advice on where to get it straightened, but just remember the axle will be much weaker if it is straightened compared to before it was bent. Hardened metals form a pattern in their molecules, and once the pattern is interrupted or disturbed it will have a weak spot where it happened. It would be much wiser to just save some loot for a new tougher axle. I spent a day in Ford's lab where they examine hardened metal and plastic parts that broke when they shouldn't have, and flaws in the molecular pattern were the problem most of the time. I wouldn't think you would have a electron microscope laying around unfortunately, lol. If you must, just straighten the bent axle for now, but take an easy on it since you might damage more from breaking it again. Definately consider a stronger axle in the future though.
