Bent trailing arm or bent hub?
Hey guys, I'm having a hellova time getting a passenger hub/trailing arm in good condition. I drove a few hours Sunday and Monday night to cut off a trailing arm/hub from a 4dr teg but today I tried to work on it and clean it up and all the bolts are rusted to ****. ******* Canada and rust
So this is what I will do, the recent hub/trailing arm I got I'm going to drill through all the bolts and just use the trailing arm.
Now I have access to an integra that went into a ditch on the passenger side and wheel is bent in like this //
Now after thinking about the way the metal would flex, the hub is made out of strong steel while the trailing arm is a pretty thin build. If the car went into the ditch do you guys think that the trailing arm just bent and/or would the hub be also bent?
I'm thinking the hub is ok since t's bolted onto the trailing arm good and the trailing arm would most likely bend but what do you guys think?

Odds are, it is the trailing arm. If you can match it up to the other side to see how they look comparatively, it should help.
