Only 33". I've not been concerned about c gussets because I haven't heard if anyone having issues until 35" or bigger. Ball joints are tight and in good condition.

He was saying you can buy a set of ball joins that are offset to correct the bend... but then you should also get gussets to prevent it from bending any more.
