I can't think of an issue. You may notice that the suspension is slightly softer, especially on roll, that's all.
Thanks Rob
Given what Jonbills experienced Rob's correct - hence I was saying you know you will want the uprated roll bars
Gotcha, I’ve just re-read his post and its just clicked. I've a lot to learn.
Replacing with the ball joint ones should reduce the stress on other parts. Even with those they recommend rubber at the back and poly at the front.
Put up a photo of the part you think is bent and let's see. My front wheel was connecting with the arches just by being half a nut loose so without a rod I would imagine it would sit quiet a lot forward. You may not have bent anything - but let's see a pic.
Pic attached of the control arm, it's not great, hard to get the camera in place.
Great... Ali, given what you mention about your front wheel sitting forward, I think I'm ok.
I've taken a look at the offside control arm and TBH it's hard to spot any difference, although definitely the nearside (with the snapped rod) seems to angle marginally forwards if that makes sense. From rough measurements the nearside wheel is sitting an inch further forward.
As a btw, its the first time I've put the car on stands. Tenno kindly pointed me in the right direction for the support places (pic below). I've seen it mentioned in some threads that some use the Tension Rod Mounts. I couldn't get the car high enough to put my stands under the recommended spot so have used the mounts. I assume as others have said, this is ok?
