Man that sucks. Doesn't look good at all.

Who's your dealer anyway. I took out my control arm, and well the rest of my front suspension on my old ES and it was about $2,000 in damages.

well, that gives me an excuse to get under the car tonight! Thanks for the heads up I can't imagine what would happen at 65 on an AX course or at a lap day doing a buck-five down a straight

Wow man, me too, we just bought the house and we are having the wedding next spring. Congrats btw (she said i can see about getting an EVO in 2 years yay thats a keeper.

Ontopic now, that is just crazy, but looks like it may be fixable without too much if important stuff that i cant see in the picture didnt bend, good luck

Oh definately, they are extremely honest. (well when I bought my ES, they raped me on my Ralliart) The techs are pretty helpful, I know a person working in the KIA shop. If worse comes to worse maybe I could let him know about your dilema.

just an update..... i called my dealership today to see what was i going on with this and they said they still need to get it on the lift to see if its from "wear and tear" or just a defective part but i dont see how the controller arm can wear, its not like it touches the ground or anything.
