Sounds like you've narrowed it down, what kind of suggestions are you after?

Perhaps if you had a look it may be obvious where the metal has been stressed. If you need to, perhaps look at the other side to see where it may not look the same.

Taking photos of either side and comparing them may help too.

Take off LCA, compare with other side. If it's not that, it'll be your other idea

I had a bent front lower control arm, and I noticed that there is a casting seam that runs the length of the arm that should be straight. I pulled a string across it and I could see that it was bent. Check yours out. (Keep in mind it is also possible that it may have twisted a little too.)
