Buy a new one, fool.

It will cost you $20< from a wrecker. Any xE7x one will fit.

However, considering your caster rod is bent, i'd be more worried about the damage done to the chassis.

WTF did you do?!?

If it has only a slight bend it is safe to straighten it with a press but never use heat. If it has a substantial bend just get a new one.
