search online for a local wheel repair shop.. and see if you can find some of his work. its the best way. I see some Mint looking wheels comming out of those places with wheels that are practically cracked in two! (a little over exaggeration here... Lol)

i just took the wheel to a machine shop today and they're gonna do the job for 200-300 so im excited. the only thing i cant tell is if my a- arm is bent or not and if my strut is completly fucked or if its just a little peice that is cheap to replace.

did the same thing w/ my car, my control arm was murdered, subframe tiny bit bent, not sure about the strut, but im getting a new setup and including front pillowball mounts to help with some good camber adjustment. i could use a new knuckle but not a nessesity.

u can find the pillow ball mounts from tein for $170-$180....

otherwise look for ur other parts on ebay, and post up WTB adds in parts sections of forums. Good luck.

well it's this joint where the strut meets the control arm. it's a little ball that has grease inside it, it is bent in a weird way and thats the only thing i could call it (not sure if it is that or not, could just be the strut is bent at the bottom i dunno)
