Default My Grizzly 's got a bend A-ARM pivot!

I bought this Girzzly off a guy. It is in good shape except for where it was rolled bad one time. As far as I can tell, all the damage was on the left front corner. It bent the wheel and A-ARM pivot. To be specific, if you're looking at front of the bike from the side, it is the pivot-point (the part on the main-frame) where the A-ARM connects to the fame. It is the one on furthest back. The A-ARM and tie-rod and everything else appears to be straight, but the pivot bracket is bent back towards the back of the bike, causing the whole bike to pull hard to the left obviously. Does anybody know of a good quick fix for this? I thought about taking it to the machine shop and having them fabricate a new one and re-welding it to the frame. If anybody's got some better ideas, LEMME KNOW! THANKS!

Not sure about the frame being bent, but I've had to repplace both of my lower a arms on my '04 400 4x4 Kodiak. They are pretty flimsy.

If the frame is bent, get a new frame. If is is something else, then buy a new part to fix it the correct way. It will save time, money, and be safer in the long run.
