My lower control arm is bent. I believe it was the cause of the awful sound I was hearing. The old bushing was completely gone on one side where the rod was against it. Putting it back together and now realizing that it is bent. Rod is fine, it is the arm itself.
Can I bend it back? Worried about alignment and wear over time. Suggestions?
Looks ok to me. you are just missing a bushing. Are you going to press it in, or have a machine shop press it? Did you find the big washer and bolt, or were they missing. The shaft is deflected because it is connected on the other end, I don't see a bend.

I pressed it in and everything looks good. I have all the hardware to put it back together.
