Bent lower control arm possibly? please help!

[toysruskid]

Last night I rocked into a curb, not hard at all, so I checked under the car. The right(pass) side has an "S" shape where as the left(driver) side looks more like a 45 degree angle. Are they supposed to be different for each side or did this little smack bend it that much? Edit: I'm referring to the rear control arms.

Also, ever since it's been lowered it hasnt dropped as far as the drivers side, if that helps.

Thanks!

are you talking about the radius rods? one of them is different than the other. They go diagonally into the arms in front right? thats what your talking about?

No, if you are under the rear bumper they're staring you in the face. With a tie bar in between them.

Are we talking about the rear of the front? It sounds like were talking about the rear here. The passenger side rear lower control arm does have an S shape to navigate around the exhaust.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. The car currently has no cat-back system on it, so I was a little confused.

Does the car still drive straight? if not then it's probably bent.

If you bent one of those, either your bushings are completely seized so the arm can't move at all, or your suspension is waaaaaaaaaaay too stiff for the street.

Pics would be helpful for trying to understand what part you're talking about. I've fixed a severely bent upper and lower control arm on my previous accord. Honestly though the only reason I knew it was bent was because the previous owner told me as he was handing me the keys. In other words, if they are bent it probably won't kill you if you drive on it for awhile, but it would be a good idea to replace it. Especially if the pivot points are seized as mentioned before...

sounds like a good time to upgrade to Megan Rear Lower control and tie arms
