No, the damage looked very minor, but what it did was bent a good deal of metal parts and shatter some plastic ones in ways that you didnt notice until you started to take it apart. It bent a 1/4" thick stainless steel turnbuckle, but the plastic parts attached to it were OK... so much for failure points.

Other damage was the hinge pin was bent nicely, the front hinge pin carrier was bent very nicely, an A Arm was cracked, the top A Arm hinge pin was bent, the shock tower was tweaked, the hub hinge pin was bent, and the CVD bone was tweaked. It shattered the bumper, and possibly bent the shock shaft.

All from a well placed 10Mph impact.
