If you are racing I would say fit a new one. Make sure you get the right one.
If not or you are cash strapped you can straighten them if the bend isn�t too bad.
Scaffold bar & a dial gauge, tie down chassis down, find the bend & try to take it out.
Use the dial gauge to check. If you have no dial gauge find a good fixed point on the chassis near the end of the axle, use a steel rule clamp it to the chassis so it just touching the axle on the �high spot� near the end, turn the axle to check. When it is right the axle should turn & stay in contact all the way round without bending the steel rule.
I have used this method on occasions when racing, its surprising how close you can get the axle (I always carry a scaffold bar now).
Good luck.
Any more help give me a shout on here.
