I thought it was worth mentioning. There is likely zero risk of the tension arm ever failing because you hit it with a 3lb hammer or used a slidehammer on it, being that arm is made of a large chunk of steel. But you could permanently change your alignment in a manner that could not be corrected by normal means. If this were on an aluminum control arm, the risk of failure would be non-zero, and therefore too high to not replace it.
