So far from what I see.
Bent "7075" shock tower.
1 broken shock standoff.
1 broken shock rod end.
1 broken rod end on the camber link.
1 broken bulkhead.
Sway bar pulled out of end link.
A arm looks fine.

It looks like the M2C shock tower braces are really doing their job! Everything is folded around them, but they don't yield. That makes the EXB tower the weak link. I hope this is a case of "you shoulda seen the other guy!"

As I know you know the exb standoffs are utter garbage. I've also broken these and the m2c ones. User error. Drill & tap the std ones out to m4 and use a m4 12.9 cap head. Cheap, super stout and easy to just replace the pin. 👍View attachment 216262

For now I'll just use some Tekno standoffs.

The other guy was the ground.

I still do not understand how I didn't break the a arm, bend the hinge pin or even bend or break the suspension mounts.

@real_name_hidden could be the angle, but the diff housing looks bad as well. Bearing seems to have a lot of play.
Looks like she learned from one of the best ;)
Just the angel, diff housing is fine. Tripped checked. No play. Definitely odd though. But it's all back together for her to destroy it all over again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
