ding ding we have a winner, i just crawled under the car , i did not see a crack in the LCA however it looks as though the impact fried the LCA lower control arm bushing, the rubber is coming out and is distorted, so i think i may have gotten lucky, i think should be able to replace the rubber bushing align the front in and be good.

can i buy the LCA control arm bushings at my local parts house?
