So picked up a used rear LCA to replace one of mine that I busted while pressing the bushing out (dumb me pressed from wrong side and snapped the aluminum collar out), anyways, take a look at this..


The dirty one is the one I picked up recently, it's completely straight while the two off of my car are slightly bent.



Also, it has different stampings on it, once again dirty one is the one i picked up, clean is the original.




Any insight?

 

those top two look bent. I'm not 100% but my guess is they are bent. I replaced mine and both the old and new did not have that much of a bend in them.

 

The lower rear arm should be straight as an arrow. Both those arms are obviously damaged.

If you need another one I know a good source
