The lower ball joint has seperated causing housing of lower ball joint to rest on inside of wheel rim. The part Lower ball jopint and control arm are made together and must be purchased this way not seperately. I have obtained the parts necessary to r and r. I am looking for some help in instruction on step help in R & R of lower control arm to fix. Please advise. Currently I have no money although I have given past donations. Thank You// T J Lewis
