yea, bending the whole TA did cross my mind, but i wouldnt know where to begin since you cant really see where it got bent out of place. im just gonna try to look for a decent used and cheap one, or ill just get the toe arm and camber kit. well thanks for everyones help and information.

You could try taking it out, and the other one from the other side, and compare / measure them carefully side by side...

yea i could, but i dont feel like taking both sides apart and inspecting them and then mess with them and then put it all back together. maybe, but im leaning towards 'nah id rather not'

so, i installed the toe arm kit and got an alignment today, under warranty. (the camber kit was a semi-cheapo ebay one that doesnt even have the right bolt hole specs so they dont fit, imma get a refund.) before i got the alignment i decided to lower the car some more and not use a camber kit so that the left rear had a little neg. camber and i installed two washers to the right to make it less neg.

now here are the rear specs: left= -.6* camber and .1* toe, right= -1.1* camber (was -1.9* before lowering .4" and installing two washers) and .1* toe.

now my quick question is, should i install 1 more washer to the right to make it even, since i figure that 1 washer= +.5* camber? or is this perfectly fine? if i add one, i would need to get another alignment, but my warranty is up on thurs. and tomorrow will be my only day to do it. thanks for the help again.

Bending the whole trailing arm is not very hard to do and a bent one would be nearly impossible to align.
