How is it now useless? Yes it's very slightly bent. But it's a metal piece that is still completely intact and bolted in place. It still resists any longitudinal forces placed on it. Frankly, from the pictures it looks like cosmetic damage only. I'd bet my nuts you'd never notice any difference in performance.
