Bent upper control arm!!!!

73 Plymouth duster, drums, slant 6, auto, manual steering.

Redoing the front suspension with a pst kit.

Man where the upper control arm bushings a pain!! That ball joint was snug on there too!


Anyways while trying to press out one of the bushings I somehow managed to bend the upper control arm. One of the bushings would just not budge, I got some movement and I thought it was the bushing... Wrong! Control arm was bending so I stopped. I got the bushings out eventually, but now the control arm is off by like 1/2 an inch. I tried using a pry bar to get it to fit but stopped because I realized it wasn't the fresh bushings but the bent arm.

Luckily I do have an extra arm lying around for that exact size and year, lucky!!!
But I would rather not use it if I don't have too. After this experience I did break down and buy the American muscle removal tool.

Is there anyway to maybe fix this arm? Or is it done? Thanks!
