umm i didn't understand anything you said in the original message but yeah that would be your inner tie rod. You might as well replace it, bending it back isn't the best solution, it will never be perfectly straight. Go to rockauto.com and get a new acdelco inner tie rods, on another note you might as well do both inner tie rods and new tie rod ends(get Moogs, all the others are garbage). The job is fairly straight foward, its not the end of the world...just did mine and my car handles like a brand new car, no slop.
