Yeah...it seems so. Integras are make more like toys than machines. Their paint is paper thin, their sheet metal bends like a tin can, their urithane bumbers crack and get gouged like cheap rubber and as you can see (and I know from experience also) control arms bend like they're made from aluminum.

Integras are great cars, but the littlest touch could ruin them.

Yeah that was my control arm after my curb incident. Thanks to Chris for fixing it for me. Saved me hundreds in damage costs I'm sure. Yeah it feels pretty good right now. A little stiff at first on the right turns, but I imagine that's gonna be felt from putting in a brand new piece of metal as compared to one that has been flexed a whole bunch I'm sure. It will break in and be back to normal after a while I'm sure. And Jordan was able to talk to Mclea's Tire and automotive so they're gonna do an alignment check for me on friday for cheap. Oh yeah what was the name of that pin you told me to check out Chris? The carpin or something like that? I asked Mclea and he wanted to be sure, if you could IM me what it is so I can tell them exactly what to look for while they're doing the alignment, that would help out a lot. Once again, thanks a million for the fix man, I owe you big time. And it was hella fun just seeing two type-r's just hanging out in the driveway while me geeser was getting fixed up. It was fun all in all though. Thanks again.

I told him in an IM! (cotter pin)

Also that the bushings will be a little tighter, for a while.
