It won't have any effect on the cars operation, it's just peoples indifference of where they jack these cars up on a lift. or with a floor jack.
If you want to try to straighten it, a large crescent wrench (24 inches, or longer) will be the tool to try it with. You might need to put a cheater pipe on the handle of the wench to bend it back into position.

Yep, this is the correct info. Mine was pushed up like that from someone's careless placement of floor jacks. It was very easy to bend back into place with a jumbo adjustable crescent wrench. Didn't need any type of cheater bar.
