Steering Stem Question

[Chino886]

Does anyone know if a steering stem can be straightened? I think mine is bent.

Anything can be straigtened, but its going to be really weak in that spot because its already yielded.

I kind of figured that, but since I already bought another one, I thought I would straighten it out and keep it as a back up!
