    Default Help!!!

    Hey guys, I had a little miss hap on the way home today. I was driving in downtown fort worth and hit a good sized pothole on my right side and bent the control arm. If anyone has one for a decent price please let me know asap. I need my car to get me to school on thursday. If not I guess I will be going out to mazda heaven to try and find one. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks so much in advance.

    Front or rear? Right side or left side?

    Could it be the long bolt, and not the control arm?

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Its the front right lower control arm and possibly the upper as well. I also need the sway bar end link for that side...it got broken in two. I'm going to jack the car up tomorrow and make sure I dont need anything else. PM sent to you John.

    You'll need the big bolts for the control arms as well.

    I've got some of those big Bolts (the ones used for alignment), I'll sell them to you for half of new price. I bought them new to solve a clicking sound in the front, but then found the subframe was loose and never used them. They are brand new. I don't remember what I paid???

    from MazdaSpeed, the alignment bolts are just over $6 each with shipping and tax

    probably closer to $8 if bought locally

    Just a little update. I ended up going to the junkyard to get the lower control arm and they threw in the sway bar endlink for free. I also grabbed two straight alignment bolts as well.

    Unfortunately I also had to buy another AGX shock....the other one was kinda bent So hopefully I'll be back on the road by tomorrow.

    Thanks for everyones help!
