I lost traction on a wet road in a dedicated turn lane and bent the left front control arm into a pretzel hitting the concrete island.

I had to use a metal grinder to cut away the metal to be able to access some of the bolts.

I was lucky enough to have gotten the new arm with the bushing intact and the stabilizer link still attached.

Getting the damaged control arm off was a bigger challenge than installing the replacement.
