Re-align the strut.
Be prepared to redo the stuffing box, I'm sure thats got a good drip going on.

I'm gonna assume thats the shaft that's worn?
Might as well invest in a new shaft while you're at it to start from nice fresh stainless.

If you have to get new shafts make sure they are scalloped on the ends. It's not a brand new technology, but newer so the shop needs to have the computers to do it. If you need new one's let me know and I can get you in touch with the right shop.
