Trailing Arm is Banana shaped! was created by mostafa
after hitting a cement block with my sweet Jimny "a friend did 
", the front/left tailing arm lost the straightness and went into a banana shape as the bellow pic
i saw a topic on the site in the problems section
www.bigjimny.com/index.php?option=com_co...=blog&id=8&Itemid=37
the arm is not available around to buy
my question is what if the durability of the arm if i didnt change it and i worked on it to be straight. im just a afraid to be crack.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Think if you took it off and took a few photos we could tell better, from your picture it look like you've got the banana shape with a twist.
The photos you used are of my front arm, I was lucky only to have the bend, but got it straight enough by hitting it with a solid bar, nice and heavy. If you have a go, put arm on blocks of wood then put your foot on the arm, then just hit downwards like a ram and it will go. Do that till your happy with it.
Not to sure how you'd take the twist out though, please put photos up to see how bad it is, it could be scrap

@Kirkynut: can you send me that link on ebay plz? coz i cant find it
I’m thinking to straightening and give it a support bars till I find it around but I’m afraid to ruin the balance to add more weight on one arm.
i dnt know if i can customize this arm!
