Default Blaster steering stem?

When I replace my bent steering stem with a new one is there any bearings or other things that must be replaced?

there is only one bushing on the bottom of it.
It is probably still good. I bent mine and the I just bent it back, still works and alot cheaper.

Its not half a$$ is you do it right. I had a local machine shop press it and straightened it as good as new. its re-inforced inside so it won't be happening again. Plus its all sanded down and polished up so in my opinion its better then new.

Don't be bashing my **** without knoing the facts dude

The bushings look alright, i would have taken my steering stem to a machine shop but i already bought a good used one, if you find a machine shop that does a good job it is probably the way to go, thats what i did with my axle
