Default SO, doing a final check uo before wheeling...

Aaaand I find a bend in my rear lower control arm...drivers side. :( I already have all my stuff packed up to leave out at 6:45 in the morning....here's my question: will it hurt to go ahead and go tomorrow? I'm gonna be replacing it next week anyways...I don't think this place is all that rough, and being that I'm still new to this stuff I won't be doing anything crazy...will it be ok?

Here's a pic of the bend. There's not really a crease...
