Hit a curb. Busted wishbone ball joint.

Hey guys. I need your help please.

I hit a curb making a right turn so the ball joint of the driver's wishbone is out of place. Visually it looks like it's not broken but is just out. Is there a way to replace just the joint or it's a unit with the wishbone?



It is #14

I can't find the part circled in red. When I search for wishbone part nowhere it is listed and can't find it on realoem.



Thanks in advance!

That part is for the auto head light level sensor. If you get a new control arm just swap the old part onto the new one. It is easy to remove, just undo that metal strap that wraps around the wishbone.

Excellent!

The window is open
, but will, if you do not seize the moment, shut....and Golden Opportunity will be lost!

Do not hesitate, do not think.....immediately order M3 Wishbones & Tension Struts for your front end! Mine came from HP Autowerks, complete with Delrin parts installed - simply bolt them in and the handling upgrade is yours!

Just do it. Trust me, you'll bless the day....
