lol frail?

So what your trying to say is you took the car drifting and did a few stupid things and after you trashed it the car had to be towed?

Which control arm? Upper? Lower?

I just replaced the bushes in the both rear control arms and after 15 years it looks fine to me so if yours look "frail" I must say you damaged it in some way because under normal driving conditions a control doesn't break.

They're fine as long as you don't drift *into* anything.
