Well... I was still doing my full poly upgrade / suspension upgrade when I took off my rear lower control arm and noticed something strange...



and...



Something looks a little odd... is that one arm totally trashed or is there maybe a way I could save it?

 

i'd replace it. the control arm will never be the same. i dont think you'll notice a huge difference by leaving it, but the control arms are pretty abundant and easy to replace. it makes the decision that much eaiser to replace for me.

 

Alrighty then, it's history. That's what I was thinking but somehow I hoped I was mistaken

 

Hammer it out straight, no biggie unless you see stress cracks. Unlikely as little as it's bent.

 

Alright! I'm going to go wack it a bit.

 

I generaly replace them, just cause it takes a few minutes and they I have piles of them.

Some one was making replacement Lower bars, Might be an option for you.
