wtf are you asking? just replace the control arm if it's bent. how the fuck are any of your control arms in your engine bay?

are you sure it's the control arm? what kind of car are we talking about?

if it hit hard enough to bend the control arm...it more then likely had bent the attatching points on the unibody also...


bring it to a COLLISION repair center, not a body shop, and have them look at it. or just let it die. i take it is a honda?
