Bending both rear LCAs?
How hard is it to bend them? I've had the car for 3500 mi (I completely rebuilt it, and I don't remember noticing the control arms being bent while I was working on it. I've driven the **** out of the car so far, but never hit anything.
Both rear LCAs are bent now. The driver's side one is slightly bent, but the passenger side one has a good 30-40* of bend in it between the trailing arm mount location and the subframe mount location.
Do they bend really easily, or did I just not notice when I was putting the car together? (It was my first time working on the FD, so I wouldnt've known what the LCAs were supposed to look like).

That sucker obviously took a pretty hard hit to bend like that.
Good used ones should be pretty reasonably priced - get that fixed and do it right. Also a good time to look into the rear pillow ball bushings.
