When I bought my X a month ago I knew the rear bumper was crooked but I assumed the mounting bracket was just bent and didnt worry about it. Well I was under it putting new shocks on and noticed that the bumper bracket is fine but the passenger side frame rail and shackle are both bent. I have to questions about this.
1. Is it really safe to be driving with a shackle/frame bent like this? and
2. What is the easiest way to straighten the frame so that i may replace the shackle?
I can take additional pics if i need to and I must apologize because they are phone pics.
