Passenger side rear lower control arm was tweaked from a curb. Back before I sold the car to my brother, and recently got it back, some asswipe flatbed driver tried to tow it because he didn't like where I parked in my apartment complex. He hooked the front and tried to drag my 240 onto the flatbed with me in it. Well, knowing how a hook works (because it's rocket science) I pulled forward onto the flatbed (dislodging the hook) and quickly backed up.
When I backed up, I smacked the lca on the curb but didn't realize I had damaged it until the 240 ate a pair of rear tires recently because it was so far out of toe. To finish the story, I was able to get off the curb after this clown tried to hook it again and I moved the car down to another parking spot with a snapped tie rod end (from the hook). Cops were called, I had my ID checked, blah blah blah and the damned tow truck driver was sent packing. Cops told me not to park there and left.
Props to 574-240sx for hooking me up with a player deal on a control arm!
