i beam bend

Dropping I beams for new bushings and noticed driver side with a bow in it but pass. Side straight.its not severely bowed but definately more than other.is it supposed to be that way on driver side? Never paid attention before.can I put it on a press and straighten it with a 4x4 post without damaging it?. Just curious.its a 2 wheel drive.

I think they pretty much all have a bend in them, at least all I've seen. Just checked on mine and they both have a curve but the drivers is slightly more pronounced, must have something to do with align. Later.
