Look up the 3 bolt method for driveshaftsdriveshaft
I straightened this rear shock tower by setting it on a 10 pound steel weight and whacking it with a hammer. I might have initially sandwiched it between two weights and stepped on it a few times hard, to flatten it some before the hammer.
Did not come out perfect, and of course strength will be compromised, but I won't be bashing it hard. I got this second hand damaged so did what I could to make it work cheaply. I do not recall if I used any heat.

After beating on it for a while (it is not completely straight, I know, but close enough and can drive it).
