So what's a good way to tell if the knuckle did get bent I know it was bent up a little on one side but i bent it back down.

I have no idea..other then finding one that hasn't bent..like at the dealership, and getting some very accurate measurements. It still surprises me that they can bent without breaking..and you should know that those that have bent them back had them either bend again much easier or just break clean off. There are some people that have reinforced them with extra steel..welded it right to it so must not be cast iron.

So I found out my tie rod was bent on the driver side so where is a good place to get a new tie rod?
