Hey guys, I have a 02 1500 5.9 2wd and I’m replacing the whole front suspension since it was never changed. I used a ball join press kit and I used it just like all the videos online did. I got the ball joint out but I did take a lot of force with a breaker bar and cheater bar. It eventually popped out with a bang but then I noticed that I bent the part where the ball joint sits in, what do you guys think? Should I bend it back if possible or should it be fine? I also put the picture of the other side to compare.
