If you think it got bent due to hitting something you might consider
the Rocky Road high steer setup to get the rods up and out of the
way.

If it got bent just due to steering force, then I don't know. Convert
to manual steering? :)

You wheel, you break, you fix....no one has steering linkage that you
can't break somehow, someday. You had a pretty heavy duty setup, why not
go back to it? You're having fun, right? :)
