Lead? You mean the lead on the cable?

There's nothing on the sparkplug to "bend", unless it is the electrode and it would be running like shyt from the outset, not after 55 miles. And, as I implied only a blind person trying to install it with a hammer would bend that.

IMO the explanation from the dealer is BS.
It was actually running very rough from the beginning- much more than normal but the dealer at the time said it was fine. The electrode itself was bent- they showed me the spark plug. I'm beginning to think it was BS also but hey, the car is perfect now and they are paying the first month's payment...
