    Took a hit to the right front LCA bushing area. Cam tab looks to be fine. Do I need to worry at all? I was planning to bend it back when I get a chance.

    Could always get your alingment checked after you bend it back, but I wouldnt worry to much

    As long as your arm swings freely and no metal is cutting into any bushing, you'll be alright.

    That happened to my track car and I just bend it back instead of replacing the entire subframe.

    Yeah it's been awhile so I need to do that anyway.

    Unfortunately all my truck plans have been put on hiatus, but hopefully I will get an aftermarket skid eventually.

    Copy that, thanks

    I'll get on it.

    Is that bumper/washer for anything besides providing dampening/cushion between the bushing and that part of the frame?
