Lower Control Arm

[Kaioshin1982]

Ok some of you know that my rim got cracked when my friend try to pull Takumi on the street and hit the curb... I just came back from the mechanic and they told me that the lower control arm got bent and have to get new control arm and replace it...

Now my question is.... I know im already screwed but anyone have any idea how much a new control arm will be? OEM and Aftermarket ones.... I'm very tight on the budget so any help will be grateful and also is it possible to just unbend it or something? or anyone selling the part...? plzzz help me out!!!

Check out the for sale section here on NICO or on zilvia.com. I've seen a lot of parting out S13s online...so somebody probably has it for ya. Just send everyone an email, and see who has the lowest price. As for bending it back out, I wouldn't. Even if it looked straight by eye, it could still be bent enough to throw out your alignment (caster/camber), maybe even by alot.

hmmm thanx alot guys, and thanx Exar Kun for the convo on AIM. I thought I was REALLY screwed cuz the mechanic had no idea and though the new control arm would cost about $300 to $400... I will get the new control arm most likely from PDM but if i can find one locally im going to try to just pick it up since I dont like to deal with shipping and stuff like that.... once again thank you all.
