Lower control arms
So Wednesday I curbed my backed harder thank thought. Wasn't going that fast but apparently it doesn't take much. Was able to get under car better today since I didn't have tools and saw I have a bent rear lower control arm.
Should I go with stock replacement or upgrade to aftermarket on both sides? Currently a running pfadt sways and springs |

if you upgrade the next time you may bend more that the arms, and that will cost $$$$. I'd get OE arms and add bushings.

Ill know for sure tomorrow what all is needed. I didn't have the right tools to get lug nuts off so need to run to store. Once rim is off should be easier to look at

If it's just the lca just buy the 2012 up arm and toss on the zl1 sway. The lca's are cheap, around $40 each. If you go aftermarket you won't be able to upgrade to the zl1 stuff if you ever thought about it.
