Looks like rusty pieces of the Titanic. Youre gonna have fun getting that stuff apart. As others have said, Replace them. They are way beyond repair.

Can't fix them when they are twisted like that. Looks like they are shot. T-arms bend all the time, even ones that don't look as bad. If you do w/the offsets i have on sale it won't happen again. If you want stock arms i have them too.
