Default big problem help

i was getting off work and a dumb driver cut me off. to avoid hitting him i jerked and slammed into the curb i bent my lower control arm and strut. now i know that when you change your strut you change both. do you have to do that to the lower control arm? please help me thank you

sorry to hear about your mishap

i don't think you need to change both control arms. just change the damaged one should be fine

Sorry to hear, but Henry is correct, just change the damaged unit, inspect for other damage including dent sheet metal where the control arm attaches and get it aligned.
