So my (previously wrecked) c5 has been getting a suspension rebuild, which has included some vansteel delrin bushings. Went to go install the front upper control arms, and the drivers side is waaaay off.
This a sign that the arm is bent? If I lay it on the floor it rocks as though the rear-ward arm is bent upwards, and I can definitely see the bushings arent on the same plane. Just want to get yalls opinions before I spend money on another one.

What happened to where you would thing it got damaged??

The car was wrecked when I bought it. Went offroad at highway speeds, took out the front cradle and spring so I wouldnt be surprised if it was hit hard enough to bend it.
Can't tell just by looking, no apparent bend compared to the arm on my car.
Can definitely see the bolt holes are on a different plane. And i can "rock" the control arm laying on the ground by pushing down where the balljoint goes.
Is my control arm bent?
