its gonna set you back a bunch of money.... might as well save up and get a quailty fork instead of wasting money into a piece of shit.

if im not mistaken, getting a replacement crown and steerer would pretty much cost as much as the entire fork.

Norco replaces just the steer tube. Should run between $50 - $70.
if you bent your steer tube, your crown could be royally fucked too. might wanna get that checked out.

Get a dirt jumper steerer pressed in, WAY stronger than the stock dirt jam one. An aluminum Z1 steerer would be good too and will save a little weight, will cost more though.

I'm not sure how much the Dirt Jam fork would cost, but from my personal experience, it is not a very good fork, so I am assuming it costs very little as it is the lowest end jump fork Marzocchi makes (MZs don't count). If I were you, I'd talk to a trusted mechanic to see how much the fork is worth and how much you'd be paying exactly to get a steerer tube pressed in. If you can, try to find a deal on a decent jump fork either in a shop or just check out the buy/sell here. I just don't know if the Dirt Jam Comp is really worth putting much money into.

look for a cheaper used fork? it would be alot better quality than you dirt jam, its probley not worth it to spend money to get it fixed.

yeah, take it to Marz. for crash replacement, you can probably upgrade for cheap..
