Default front part of the chassis twirls when steering

Hello everybody, i have a problem with the chasis of my K5:

When i turn then steering wheel to any side, the front part of the chassis twirls.
I think this is causing a steering problem: when i try to go straigh on a highway, the truck tends to go to right and left. In order to keep the straigh way i have to constantly correct it moving the steering wheel.

I am attaching a photo indicating what twirls on my truck. The truck of the photo is not mine, just as a reference.

Somebody told me that is happens because that part of the chassis has been heated in order to unbend it, and consecuently it has become weak.

What do you think?

Guillermo Arias, Perú
