lower controll arm damage
I've bent the lower control arm on the right rear of my OZ, got a new one on order and hoping I didnt bend the trailing arm and spindle too...but my question is are these control arms weak or known for bending? seems it shoulda handled what I did better. I was doin about 30mph on concrete, e-braked a corner and hit a bump right as the rear started to come around, hoped into the air for a second and the landing owned it 
guess I was asking a little much

i curbed my car a while back., and all my suspesion held up well.
The only thing that bent was the axle on the trailing arm. Even the stock OZ rim held up. I was doing like 40mph too.
if i where you i would expect the axle on the trailing arm to be bent. Which means the entire trailing arm would need to be replaced. And they cost like $270 from a dealership

I hoping the trailing arm isnt bent. I dont think it is the way the lower arm bent, its just like it got shorter, maybe 1/2" so hopefully the bushings on the trailing arm are absorbing that angle...I'll get pics of the bend when the new arm comes in.
