Was jacking the car up to do an oil change. Let the jack out a little to quick and it came down pretty heavy on the jack stand which is what I think did it.

1.) Is this the control arm?
2.) Is it driveable?
2a. If not, how much are we looking at for a repair?

Thanks

That's not a control arm. It's just a brace. You should be find but I would replace it.

I wouldn't use jack stands at those rear green points. The crossmember isn't designed to take weight at that spot. Also the jack stands will be too far inboard.

For what it’s worth 30 dollar plastic ramps from the Walmart are the way to go.

I have been using them since day 1 oil changes
All oil changes have been done by myself
