I pulled my skid today to work on the w arm issuies. Then I noticed the rail is bent.Its bent infront on the left side. its bent in about an inch. The bend seem to be contained to in front of were the last support is . its all up frount as far a i can see with the eye. well I don't know if I can take it off and have it pressed or if I will have to have a new one. what do you guys think?

Replace the rail. Aluminium does not like to be bent - there will be unseen cracks. Best to replace.

no other alternative than replace the rail. When an aluminium piece is bent, the microscopics cracks run in 2/3 of the thickness of the piece. So, your rail is already really weak and will certainly break if you try to straigten it ....
