I had a bent tab. I massaged it back close to its original position, but my link is still leaning a little.
Should I quit obsessing and leave it alone?

As long as it doesn't clunk, it will serve it's purpose.

That's how I got it back that far. It was 3/4" more towards the wheel. I just didn't want to break it off.

I doubt it would cause any real issues. You could get a big ass set of vice grips and see if that maybe helps. Either that or get a good piece of steel and put that in the cotter pin hold and try bending it back.

Yeah, I think I'll leave it how it is. Maybe right before I have the C's welded I'll try to adjust it more. Then, if it breaks no big deal. I'll have the welder handle it.
