Would you trust this....

Would you have any issues with this rod connecter on an 8 foot aluminum mesh dish that is fairly well protected from the wind? This some of the damage from the June Lightning Strike. Currently running the cheapo actuator that came with the dish. Unless it fails, it isn't going to get replaced until spring or summer.

Thanks in advance.

I don't see anything wrong with it,unless there's something I'm not seeing.

It's probably not real hard steel, just bent not cracked. I would trust it.

It is bent a bit.

I think it will be ok if no cracks are in it.

Okay I see the bend now,doesn't look serious.But if you really want to check it out,loosen the lock nut,unscrew it from the arm and check it with a magnifying glass ,or just replace it.
