    I bent one and straightened it with a hydraulic press as good as new.

        If the axle is bent so much that it causes the tire to rub on the body, stop driving it immediatlely. If it's only a minor bend, it'll be OK to drive for a short while at lower speeds. Like Dozerlarry said, remove the axle and put it in a hydraulic press to straighten it out.
