Default Bent K-Member??

Is the piece of black metal underneath the front of the engine that the lower A-arms connected to part of the K-member?? If so, the other day it was raining and I made a turn, only the car didn't fully turn and I slid up over a curb. My alignment is slightly off (sterring wheel to the left a bit). When I went under there yesterday to change the oil, I noticed that there were scrapes on the K-member on the passanger side and the K-member is slightly bent up on that side. Is there any way to get my front end realigned and not having to replace the K-member? Also, is there any negatives about having it bent? Please help!!

Thanks guys. I think I'll be going for a tubular one from BMR soon. I was going to replace the K-member anyway. Just didn't plan on doing it so sonn. But sh*t happens, right. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
