That tie rod is not bad, mine looked like that several times before I upgraded. You can straighten that with a pry bar.

I am trying to figure out how you borke the upper arm. I have done lots of wheeling, bent a few lowers, and some axles.. never an upper arm

Yah I thought it was weird that the upper's broke too.They sheared in half right in the middle.I guess it is not too big of a surprise when you consider how cheesy they are to start with.I was at full flex when each one broke,guess four year's of wheelin caught up with them.
And it has nothing to do with sticking to a line(PINGPONG)The trail forced you to take one and one line only,and I doubt you would have the skill to follow with out flipping
