Control Arm bend ?

During frontsuspension overhaul i found that the torsion bar rests on
The right A arm wall and isnt centeret as the left one
I guess this have been bend at some point ?
Anybody seen this before ,
Anyway to correct this or do I need a replacement?
The torsion bar has also taken damage having grinding marks

Are you sure it is bent? Try cleaning the spline and switch torsions.

Okay, Bars are true.

Are you sure there is nothing inside the arm at the end spline cap or maybe end spline cap is tweeked?
