axle bearings will wear real fast

Excessive vibration will wear out your axle bearings, bearing carrier, swingarm, and on up. Those components can handle some amount of vibration (lets face it, it's on quad, made for offroad) but the longer you ride, the more damage it does. you can probably get by for a short period of time, but I wouldn't make it a long-term solution.

YOu can get then striagthen out again, if the bend is not much. I did mine and it has held up so far. Plus I've been riding it harder than before I bent it.

I would save up for a new axle or try to staighten the sticker. A bent axle can wear out axle bearings, etc.......
