Ran into curb last winter
 

so i ran into a curb earlier this year and i bent the front part of the lower control arm back into the sway bar end link. The axle is leaking grease and the lower ball joint is leaking grease. I also think the trailing arm bushing is bad on the passenger rear, it squeaks bad when going over bumps, plus the rear end wants to walk out on me.

My question is how reliable would a junk yard lca, axle be?

The ball joint is mounted in the knuckle, but you can probably get a rubber boot for it if you look.

A JY LCA would be fine as long as all of its parts are good. Better than your bent one, at any rate.

You can get axles for $50 all day long at the ChinaZone and others.
JY isn't worth it in most cases.


Rear end stuff? Gotta look, gotta find if something is loose or if you bent something back there too.

You can't be serious. Google broken? Phones down? Try again during business hours.

If you managed to bend yours, you probably need a complete arm, like the factory sells.

DangerZone sells half of the arm according to what I just found, and that probably ain't enough for what you need.

I strongly suggest you look up for YOUR OWN car, don't use the car I picked at random.

I got a new arm at O'reillys for $130. Been fine for 120K miles.

Pretty much any axle you get from the parts store is a re-man.
