what about of set bushes for the king pins or are thay just a bandaid?

That would be a bandaid - the housing will still be bent and likely weakened by the impact that bent it in the first place.

Probably better to source a new housing and all new diff , went down the diiff housing thing before in the cruiser , when they straightened it they crystalised the metal and the housing cracked after a while , Cheers Paul.

When you do correct it, either straighten or new housing, i woul suggest laminating or bracing the diff if you plan to keep driving like you currently do, or you will be going through this again.
