If it is not badly bent, you can have most places that do front end
alignments bend it for you. I fixed a Honda accord that way, they charged
me 80 bucks. If it is bent badly, you will have to get a body shop with a
frame machine to fix it.

Subject: Bent outrigger - Fix or replace?
The right side outrigger on my GT6 frame is a tad bent
up and I'd like to remedy that condition. I'm
completely ignorant when it comes to frame work, so I
apologize if this is a stupid question!
Can these things be successfully bent back into shape,
and if so what is the best method of doing so?
Alternatively would it make more sense to just buy a
new outrigger and weld it on?
I've access only to common shop tools and a torch, no
frame-straightening equipment or anything like that.
Oh, but I do have lots of hammers :-)
TIA,
Fred Marks
