Default lca and the bolts...

ok i ran into a curb and the wheel was pushed back into the fender and i broke one of the bolt to it but the other 3 bolts where still good..?? when i removed 2 of the bolts i moved back into the right place i think but the lca seems to be twisted down towards the door but not sure if its just like that or do i need to replace..??? It's not broken or cracked just the middle bold broke... and can i replace a eg lca with integra lca?? they look alike?

Dang player, you broke the bolt holding the 2 halves of the lower A-arm together. Yeah looks like some of it is bent, as well. Just find another one from a junk yard or something to replace it.

with enough force to break the LCA like that... there is a good chance there is more bent than you think. Subframe, tierods, knuckle, UCA, balljoints, hub... it all depends on how it happened.

How did the alignment go?
