dont bend it back it can be very unsafe. if you need one hit up a junkyard if your lucky you will find an s14. if not find someone here and buy one, but most people will only sell both unless someone is parting out a wrecked car. GL

dont bend it back it can be very unsafe. if you need just one i think i have one for sale. gotta check if its drivers side first. its for an s13. ill hit you up if i find it. too bad you arent in socal. ill prolly sell it for $50 plus shipping.

He has a s14 it wont work.

Someone is lying to you. Courtesy's price is $135 for a new control arm, any dealer locally can match that or do a bit better.

my friend there are some things you can get janky w/ as for bending it back. that is one thing i wont even do. contact snoopy or murphy. im sure they can find you an arm from the yunk jard in better condition than your is.
