Default bent k member?

I have a 00 z28 and I noticed when I drive and let go of wheel it pulls abit to the right. My tires are balanced so I was thinking alignment. So I brought it to a local midas shop I use to work at. They lifted it up and they said my camber was off a bit cz part of the k member was bent ( where it meets the a arm) on driver side. What do you think? (Posting up pics) thx in advance

Even if the k member is bent, will I be able to get an alignment?
