Bent it back
I've had to do it a few times..

Aslong as its close to straight, you'll be just fine

I've thought about strengthening it.. But i looked at it this way
Its the weakest part of your steering, and its easily fixed.. Comes out with 2 nuts and can be fixed in 10 minutes.
And if youve bent it a million times and it eventually weakens, buy a new one for next to nothing.

I'd hate to strengthen it, and twist my steering box spline, or crack the arm off the knuckle or some other bs..

Once bent, they will keep on bending. The standard ones are like a toothpick. Only option in my opinion is Reinforce it or buy a stronger one.
