I need a right lower control arm?!?

man a guy at mah friend's uncle's shop just told me I needed a new right lower control arm? (i have no clue what this does) and showed me some piece that looked like it was cracking...couldnt tell it was dark. BUt i'm trusting him since it is my friend's uncle's place. So where can i find a front right lower control arm? that comes with the bushings and ball joints? i tried lookin for it on hondaautomotiveparts.com and had no luck. I guess i'll go see how much the dealer is gonna charge unless someone can help me out. Thanks in advance guys.

If the wheel that is attached to the wheel exhibits extreme camber or caster problems (i.e. it is tilted or is angled wrong), then I wouldn't suggest driving on it. Just last night me and some guys were working on a friend's Celica GT that needed a new lower rear control arm. He hit a curb really hard going about 70 mph and now his right rear wheel whobbles noticeably.

Drive another car for the time being, because there is no telling if there is axle damage or not, and you wouldn't want something worse to happen while you're on the road.

i didn't drive mine too much, but enough to destroy the tire. I wouldn't suggest riding on it. i did, and i ended up ruining my driveshaft.
