You'll get more informed feedback by raising the rear end on jacks and shooting some really good pictures of all the suspension components and anything else potentially relevant. Post the pictures in this thread.

you might be able to but once its bent it will never be as strong as it was.
dealership or junk yard. and remember after you put it back together to get a alignment done on the car. just because it looks straight doesnt mean it really is. unless you like buying tires that is....
