I let my buddy ride my Odyssey and you guessed it, he forgot the rear was wider than the front and hit a tree with the right rear (if you are looking at Odyssey from the front) tire and bent the trailing arm out. I have tried everything to straighten it out and nothing works. Time to try and find a replacement. Does anyone have an extra they can sell me?
I even drove my 08 F250 superduty front tire onto it to try and straighten it out and it didnt budge!
Pictures?
When you look at the arm it actually tried to straighten the arm or remove the factory bend?
I have seen them rebent by drilling a hole through the inside layer of the arm and inserting a 1" round bar through the hole then putting the arm in a press and pressing on the outside layer of the arm bending it back to where it belongs then welding up the hole on the inside and painting the arm, take your time and you will never know it was bent.
