    Buckey,
    No I don't forsee any problems arising from that. If it was a problem i.e. bent axle shaft for instance it would be quite apparent. As for your string just keep an eye on it. It sounds like it is only a cosmetic problem at this point and should have quite a lot of service left in it. Remember the old addage "if it ain't broke don't fix it"
