I had that happen to me also. Roads here in VA are horrible

Check your lower control arm and make sure it's not bent back also. It cost me $220

You're going to **** up your lsd if you run that spare on the front. Swap the good rear to the front.

okay good news its not the trialing arm the rear left got a flat spat as well and it was rubbing against the upper arm so now i have 2 good rg and 2 bad rg's.

called my friend greg whos going to call a dealer see if he has any 2 rg's in stock. if he doesnt then im probably going back to stock 15 gun metals or jdm gun metals if i can find a local in so cal with tires.

im still pissed i hate la traffic and rude drivers. im getting a beater from my friend for 1000 89 civic hatch 35mpg and looks like **** so itr will be home getting worked on continuously

Wow, it's amazing how bent that thing actually got. Brightside is you didn't rip off your new front end tho!

Keep us posted.
