yah, looks like the whol strut has been dropped on to it,

the xt130 ones similar? use them.

edit, or you could put it in a vice and straighten it up.

either off to wreckers for you or, i'd hate to think how much a new one is.

You don't want to know ($170 each)...Suffice to say, its alot cheaper to get an aftermarket repro from Lillavadee off eBay(~$140 delivered for a pair). (Wish I'd seen them before I bought genuine!)

what size wheels are you going to be running, you may want to save yourself the trouble now and get onto rhdjapan.com and buy some cusco adjustable camber pillow tops, mine cost $273 DELIVERED!

i need these to 17 x 8's under the guards in combination with 10mm spacers to get the rim off the strut
