Civic Control Arm
 

I have a 97 civic that is running on a bent front right control arm. I
was told that fastening it to something like a tree or pole and simply
pulling it into place is possible. I was told not to however turn on
the car and reverse it as the wheel is less than an inch away from
scrapin the back of the fender. someone even told me that a hammer
could perhaps be enough to help me out. I need to know if im buying
new parts here or if i should grab the biggest rope i got?
