Carisma GTB front wishbones - query

[CC48]

Hi,

Just replaced a front wishbone and noticed that the new one lies flat on a surface whereas the old one does not - its quite a pronounced bend / gull shape to it. Has anyone else noticed this? I assume after a number of accidents (not my fault obviously) they bend? Wondering what impact it will have on handling............ will find out on Wednesday evening.

Anyone else noticed this?

Cheers
