Has any body else ever bent the rear spindle? does it usually damage more? And rough it has been for us.

When Midas f***d up and caused my right rear wheel to sheer off, it didn't bend the spindle, it flat broke it. They replaced it and I didn't figure out until much later, when I put larger wheels/tires on the car that the right side was a little lower than the left, so that if I hit a bump hard, the right side would rub, but the left side would not. So, I'm guessing it actually bent the beam slightly when it hit the road. :roll:

Luckily the only thing I've bent is the 2nd wall on my muffler from doing reverse 180's in the snow outside my house
There was a Ford Geo(Is it ford?I'm drunk right now so I can't remember) in front of me that was having a real hard time in the snow. Of course my festy plowed right through no problem. I'm amazed how well it handles.
