M3 accident - but just have a quick question

[^_NaDiAda2nd_^]

I recently messed up my M pretty bad. I have a right rear thrust arm that Im not sure if its bent. If it is, then it would be an easy fix and I just replace the arm. If not, then the chassis is bent (with the arm on, the wheel isnt straight). My question is this : does anyone have a thrust arm for cheap, or lives relatively close to me so that I can compare my arm to theirs? Or has the measurements so that I can measure to see if mine is the same. Thanks

Im in the ventura area of California by the way

Just compare it to the other side.

it sounds like you are speaking about a rear trailing arm.

you should take a series of measurements on the good side and compare them to the bad side.

the arms are aluminum and are easily damaged.

Actually, the main control arms that set your caster and toe are cast iron. The lower control arms are stamped steel and those control your camber. more than likely he just bent the perch holding the main control arm because they are stamped steel. The 96 and up perches are thicker steel than the earlier units, so I would advise replacing with those.
