Slid and hit a sidewalk going 25 mph. The left front tire hit the curb pretty hard.
The steering feels like the two front wheel are fighting each other. Took it to the shop I worked at. She's definitely going to need alignment, and the I can fit 3 fingers on the left side between the tire and the back of the fender, but i can fit 4 fingers on the right side. The left front lower control arm is bent, so I'm going to need one. 445 dollars from the books. Mother****..... The car will sometimes turn hard left or right, it feels like the steering is fighting itself and when I take left turns around exit the left front tire will screech. And the car smells like burning. Is it okay to buy used lower control arms?

You're getting by cheap-the last car that hit a curb that my shop fixed ('02 300M) cost well over $2000 to repair

you probably bent more then the control arm. the strut and hub / spindle would probably go at the same time.

used parts will be fine as long as there in spec.

do the parts swaping your self, then go have it aligned shouldnt be more that 150bucks tops.
