Holly Hill, SC
Assuming axle is hollow and not solid steel:

Disassemble, cut a 3/8" pie shape out the front or tensioned side of the bend, put it in the press and straighten (maybe a little heat), back bevel your pie shape cut, weld. Maybe before welding find a pipe to fit inside bent pipe. Cut or drill needed holes in inside pipe for your width adjustment bolts, cut some 3/4" holes in the outer original pipe so you can puddle weld to the new inside pipe. (Try to make it stronger than before).

Another option is just let it go. Adjust your tie rod accordingly.
