Met a rude rock today. Kissed my A arm on the drivers side pretty good. Passenger side for quick reference is straight as an arrow.

Do I need to be worried?:(

Or

Am I stuck looking at arched A arms?;)

A-arm guards probably would have saved that arm. I'd replace it with a stock one and buy guards. I prefer UHMW over aluminum

The safe thing to do is to replace it. That said if it were my rig I would use a slide hammer to pull that out. Then weld it up with some extra metal for strength and get it aligned.

The back a-arms are very tough I'm surprised that hit came all the way through.
Guards would've possibly helped, like said at the least you could repair that and reinforce but it needs to be straight. I don't think aftermarket is much tougher then rears but obviously clearance. I'd much rather the clearance then guards
