A length of 2x4, weight lifting bar, hockey stick, ect will act a a good enough bending bar to twist the drop out ends of a fork back to being parallel to the crown area. Often this will slightly spread the drop outs wider then they were before. I've posted a few times in the last year how to check fork alignment. With a good wheel, a bench vice and some slats of wood it's not hard, just takes a focused mind. Andy.
PS- If the bike tracks straight then don't wory too much about this, except for making the drop out faces parallel to each other so you don't wear the bearings prematurely.
