    Upper Control Arm damaged?

    Does my driverside upper control up look bent to any of you? I noticed it when I was washing my car...it looks like its sitting cocked at an angle in relation to the Pass. side upper control arm. The balljoint and everything on both sides has no slop or any grease seeping out that I noticed. If it is bent i'm prob. gonna get new ones...does anyone make performance UCA that are any good since Honda ones cost an arm and a leg for each one.

      looks bent, probably because of those anchor style camber kits making the control arm bang into the inner fender? you should have seen my old ones when i took them out.

        so would you suggest those TAS upper control arms w/ adjustable balljoints? I just hate to spend 300 for upper control arms when I already have camber correction kits w/ Poly bushings in them.
