Default Does this look odd?

Jumped a curb recently and damaged a tire, bumper, radiator and support, oil cooler, etc...Everything is fixed but the now pulls to the left ever so slightly. Everything on the suspension checked ok except a control arm that looked bent. I looked at another b5 in the shop and the arm does look noticeably straigher. Now would hitting a curb at 5-10mph damage a tire and bend just one control arm? I'd think a ball joint or tie rod end would be fvcked but they're all fine...


I couldn't get a good angle with the wheel on.






This is one taken from a DIY article. Does it look straighter to you?

it looks pretty good to me. i have a spare control arm but idk if it's the right one. if you want one i can go check. just holler. i hit a curn a little while ago in the snow, and mine pulls to the right a bit, we should swap suspension parts lol j/k

I think it looks fine, If it really bothers you go to les schwab and get an alignment. Mine was 60 bucks.

I'm gettting the alignment for free. Well I'm doing it myself at work, just don't tell the manager, so thats not a problem. It just looked bent compared to the one I saw on another b5.
