Well, with all this snow we've been having here in the midwest, i've found my self better aquainted with the curb near my house!The damage is not slight either... i bent the left side lower control arm.

My question is does JIC make a lower control arm aftermarket peice? I remember reading something about it however on their site it says pillow tension rod, is this not what I am look for? can someone please point me in the right direction.

tension rod is the front of the car. the control arm is the rear.

look at the suspension FAQ< theres a nice diagram that shows the entire front and rear suspension :)

the tension/compression rod or t/c rod is seperate from the front LCA, which you do have.-chet

You can pick up a pair of new nissan LCAs with whiteline sway bushings already pressed in from PDM if youre looking to upgrade. If youre LCA bent I would be suprised if you didnt bend your tie rod as well

-Edit- Yeah my bad just saw someone already posted the PDM link.
