Spun out with minor damage Baaaaaaaaad day with a decent ending.
I'll leave out some of the details, but needless to say I did this to my passenger side rear tie rod:
After calling all over to find one from a stealership, Selman Chevorlet in Orange ended up having one. After hooking me up with a price drop thanks to some name dropping I did, I walked out with both an inner and outer tie rod.
New on top, damaged one on bottom:
Took some good cuts into my rim so bought a new one from Tomzwheels.com and picked it up later in the day from their Chino distribution house.
I have an appointment at 8am tomorrow to get that corner aligned, after that all should be well. I am going to watch that corner closely, I don't think I did but there's always a chance I warped that control arm.
