volvo axle, bent but not broken

Here is a shot of the axle out of the rallycar, showing about 10 degrees of toe-out caused by hitting a big old buried rock during North Nevada. It made the car handle a little funny, but we did 3 or 4 stages on it.

Probably only funny on left turns. Heat it on the front and it'll pull back.

Or slam it in reverse and smack that rock while full throttle backwards.
For every force theres and equal and opposite solution.

How's the shock on that side?
