Give me a straight Doc how bad is it?

So I’m trying to nude my Demon DL – 103r cart in preparation for each new wood body. I watched all the videos and read all the forums and everything is going great body is coming off real easy then all of a sudden boom!! I dropped the cart out of my hand falls maybe 2 inches and bent the cantilever is ever so slightly, maybe half a millimeter to the side. It didn’t seem to be bent in the middle of the aluminum tube, just generally bent to the right, so I gently bent it back ever so slowly and got it looking parallel to the body and in alignment with the coils along its long axis.

There seems to be equal play in all directions, as much as one can be equal with their eyes, so I’m going to give it a try but am I screwed? Am I just kidding myself here and should I go ahead and buy a new one. I’d hate to install this in the wood body and it not work right.
