It is true that it all depends on what is actually bent.
3 guys and concrete blocks would work to straighten a twisted frame.
A bent axle might warrant cutting, straightening and re-welding - or even cutting off the existing axle and welding on a new one (if a replacement axle is even available - some folks make replacements for some of the models of karts).
It may be that the spindle itself is bent. This could possibly be straightened in a shop press, or a new one fabricated.
My 1st Edition Kalifornia Nyke has a similar camber problem, but I have yet to figure our what exactly is out of whack. Since it is a half-ass restoration intended for use as a "loaner" kart, I may not even bother to fix it.
Ciao!
