My F frame front forks rake back, not following the Head Tube line, loading up the bearing cups in the process. Can I straighten the steerer, perhaps in a vice, and be confident it won’t crack?

i,ve seen a couple of forks where the joint of the steerer tube to the fork
has come undone, not sure if it’s welded or brazed but i would think this is the most likely thing to break.probably something that a good engineering workshop could weld/braze back together.if it has been bent in an accident probably a good idea to get it professionally repaired as it may break whilst you’re riding it
