Holy crap! How did he bend only that?Are you ever planning on getting rims? If you are just upgrade. Eibach rear camber with the SPC toe bolt kit. Speak to Charles or Adrian, username on here is B2Autodesign. They are awesome. Otherwise just get a new camber arm. Is the rim bent or anything else. That is not an easy piece to bent and not damage anything else.

You should take your wheels off and take it to a tire shop, most likely there bent in some way.

This is what broke on my friends car when the same thign happened. Looks like it bent the same amount too. lol

Two wheels. All on same side cause it hit the curb parallel. Two wheel bearings. That piece i just showed you.

That lateral arm doesn't really take that much force to bend. But seriously make your friend pay for it. Worst scenario, your sub frame is bent and that is going to cost you $$$$ to replace/pull out.

Attention all DRIVER MEMBERS....after seeing these pic is there a better reason NOT to let anyone else drive your G35? Pretty obvious his so called "Friend" was driving like an azz to have this kinda thing happen....

Number 8. Its very cheap so don't be down!! My friend bent his too when he slid on ice and the car hit parallel to the curb. So im guessing your friend hit a curb too. make him pay for it.

Edit:

Sorry the link doesn't go straight to where i was looking at.

-Click the link
-Click rear suspension link
-Click Suspension Components
-Click Lateral Arm.

Then you can see the diagram and everything if you click "View illustration"

Just print that out and take it to the dealer.

I was thinking the same thing...especially the one about a sway bar going straight up and down.

Iamnotkento is right, guessing what's wrong and knowing what's wrong are two complete diff. things. The part is pretty cheap, if you have any mechanical skills it's a pretty simple job to do.
Your friend must be blind as a bat to not notice a wheel in the road, but if I had to guess he must have thought he was in intial D.

Thanks guys, i replaced the linkage and that was the only problem. We did the alignment and luckily the car is all good. Now you guys have me worried about the subframe. Whats the best way to check that? Theoretically if the wheels were all in line it should be fine right? And yea i talked to my friend, i guess it wasnt a wheel it was a curb that he hit. The linkage was easy to replace, the hardest part was getting the bolt out. And in reguards to the comment on the sway bar going up and down. I didnt mean that like a complete idiot, i know how it works. My response was just really vague. Thanks guys for all your help. The car is driving great.
