So while removing my bushings, I somehow managed to bend one of my upper control arms. Should I bend it back or just buy another one?

Also, track bros, does anyone bother with adjustable control arms? I realize they're geared mostly toward the herrafrush crowd, but is there any benefit to running a set of them?

V8R doesn't cater to the hellaflush crowd, yet they carry them. I need to order a set but keep putting it off.

I got NB front upper and lower arms in flawless shape if you need em. Holler at me bro

And I'm shorting mine permanently (open the weld on one side of the bushing tubes, compress them and re-weld), when I need to replace one due to the ball joints crapping out (have not bent an arm yet).
That's the "easy" way to get -3.5 in front camber on a NB, bending the arms equally is harder

Adjustable control arms are not necessary for track use. Tubular control arms will drop weight, but definitely not a necessity.

Buy another used upper arm, I've got some as well. PM me if interested.

Hey **** star, you still haven't said which control arm you raped with the press.

sorry baby boy, I bent one of the front upper ones. I bent the two "feet" of the A inward.

I think that's a 50/50 chance when youre using that bushing press out method. I'll most likely be burning those ones out when the time comes.

I have pressed out a couple of sets. If you have a long skinny rod that goes through the "upper" bushing when on the press and push on a larger piece of metal that fits on the lower bushing it eliminates the chance of bending one. You are only pushing on the actual bushing that you are supporting with a piece of tubing that fits the diameter of the bushing.

Some pb blaster also seems to make it easier.

I would not reuse the control arm.
