Assume you mean rear lower arms??
Seen it happen a few times All it takes is a slight hit and they bend up. Seen pinions snapped off too. After market arms are the way to go. Mal Leslie, Cheezy etc. Fairly priced.
Better than trying to repair your own or using a CB fix.

Stock arms are only about 2.5mm wall seamed tube, When I bent one of Dad's stock arms we got Cheezy to fit some of his H/D replacements (in purty Blue) at the time (Little while ago now) they were only about $200 fitted, may have gone up a bit now. Haven't had a problem since.

Dont modify standard arms. Get aftermarket. Many places sell them.
Its not the right thing to do.
