I really doubt that the fork was damaged before being put in. In the photo the wheel is on the bike and when I had the fork the front wheel was impossible to put into the front fork.

Does anyone think that there is a chance that the fork is damaged beyond safety? I'm honestly not concerned with it as long as it's safe to ride. I'm going to take it into my local bike shop and ask them to look at it.
