Tie Rod issue and replacement

After making the other major repairs after the MAR, I noticed a 3mm bend in the tie rod in line with the drivers seat. This is the same area that RockWare has the bump up. There are no major steering issues but I have noticed the steering is not 100% familiar and there is a bit of a dip in milage. Im guessing from the wheels tracking slightly out hence greater rolling resistance. Is it possible to bend this out relatively easy?

Also if I have to replace the rod, then I was figuring replacing the steering rod as well with a heavy duty version of both. Any recommendations? I see Terrafirma has a respectfully priced package, rock ware had a good looking one and RoverTym looks solid as always but a bit steep in price. Any good stainless HD replacements anyone knows about that don't break the bank? Appreciate the feedback.
