Hey guys ,

A few weeks ago I bent the rear wishbone on my 2004 Mini cooper.
I was training some "stunts" doing handbrake turns and i hit a curb real bad.
I have replaced it myself now.
I have also balanced the rear rim.
I have a few questions.

The replacment part looked slightly different than the old part
(apart from being bent) is this normal or could it have been mixed up with (maybe) a mini one rear wishbone.

What sort of damage could I have done ? e.g. bearings etc The cars still makes some strange sounds.

Anysuggestions on what I should check ?

Thanks for ur help.

Is it the trailing arm or one of the control arm you've replaced?
