bending/fixing a suspension steering knuckle
Has anyone here had fix a steering knuckle that is slightly bent at the top from where the car was in an accident? I planned on trying to repair one myself or have an alignment shop/machine shop try to bent it back. I'd rather try this and fail and buy another knuckle then to just go out and buy a used/new knuckle which can be expensive.
My plan was to heat the area that is bent and try and bend/beat it back to nearly as straight as I can get it. The camber/caster may still be off just barely but camber can be modifed via adjustable a-arms so all those areas will be addressed for the most part.
