Crooked lower arm?

[ryant3]

Hi guys,

My Myvi is constantly giving out funny knocking sounds from underneath the car. I'm guessing it's coming from the lower arm of the front left wheel. I think it makes the knocking sounds when the 2 parts grind against each other.

top view:

What is this part called? How much would it cost me to fix this or replace the part?

i dunno much about myvi, but dat ball joint shudnt be at dat angle imo? there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with ur lower arm, at least from these angles

yea yea that "dogbone" shaped thingy is crooked already due to the curved bar joining it. How much would it cost to straighten both back? If not, how much to replace it?

 

[xtremeleo]

did u hit any road curb or sumthing hard on the road prior to this problem sir?

This car probably been in an accident before because this is actually a secondhand car :( so im guessing after the accident wasnt fixed properly :(

dat shud explains it, now for the fixing process.. i think u need a new antiroll bar

 

[ryant3]

Yea I thought so too.. and probably a new "dogbone" as well.. You know the price?
