I recently got stuck in my friends yard, long story dont ask unless you really want to know, and my other friend with an S-10 blazer pulled me out. It had to come out backwards because there was no room to pull the car out in the foward direction, and since our cars have no tow hooks or anywhere else to tow from I was forced to wrap a strap around the rear axle. that has me believing that my LCA has been stretched!? is this possible, has this happened to anyone else? I have no problem buying(upgrading) new LCAs (rear) I just want to be sure that will fix it. any help will be appreciated.

 

I have a hard time believing you can stretch a LCA. I'd take a look at the panhard rod...my guess is that when you pulled the rope tight, it put a bind on the panhard and bent that, forcing it up, and therefore the rear is no longer centered.
