Just picked up a set from a junkyard from a 6th gen max with 24K miles on them. Now that I am installing the P/S Caliper, it looks to be bent, as in damaged from the accident, but I dont know if its just my mind playing tricks on me, what do you think?

Picture of Car Caliper Came from:

6th & 5.5 Gen P/S Frt Caliper 1

Frt P/S 6th Gen Caliper 2

Frt P/S 5.5 Gen Caliper

Frt P/S 6th Gen Caliper 1

I agree, that just doesn't look right but i would think that since they are cast they would snap before they would bend. The bend seems pretty uniform too

Could just be the caliper bracket slider pin.

When I unscrewed the slider pin it was slightly bent as well. Should I:
a) Use the slider pin from the 5.5 gen bracket and call it a day
b) Too important a part to risk, try to exchange for another caliper tomorrow.
