A-Arm bolt on bulkhead bent. Am I f*ck&d??

[M.M. 700]

I bent the upper and lower A-Arms/shock on the exhaust side. It bent the bolt on the front bulkhead on the lower a arm.

Can this be heated and bent back, or any other way to fix it besides a new bulkhead??

Thanks

dont need a new bulkhead , just need to take it off and beat it back in shape with a BFH

take the nose off , and i would get the upper out of the way , im sure thats bent also btw if your lower is
if the lower is bend beoynd repair just cut it out of the way

take the belly pan off ,, now u have access to the back of the bolt.. dont need a bulkhead but the new arm might be tight trying to get it back in , so some convincing may be in order

I have a trip planned out west in 2 weeks and took it out it the ditch banging and drilled a cement culvert. Its not bent bad but it is bent pretty good.

If anyone has a upper, lower a arm and a fox zero pro shock for a 09 M8 standard let me know....



THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!

As stated above. It is much easier to remove the hood, front nose cone, air box, and belly pan to gain access to the A-arm bolts. If it was mine I'd tear it apart first and then order parts for it so you know how many and wich bolts you need.
I would look for a used shock in the swapmeet, and PM MM sports for the rest.
