I have a question .....about 3 weeks ago when i was coming home from work ( I have a 2001 2.2L 2DR chevy cavalier) i accidently hit a curve in my car and i heard this loud thump. So, i pulled over and saw that i bent the wheel alloy and flatten the tire so i changed the flat tire and use my spare tire. After, i changed the tire when i pulled off i noticed that when i was driving straight i had a hard time controling the steering wheel and that mt car was making a loud grinding noise and when i made i turn it would stop when i made turn but would continue when i was going staright. When i got my home (which was less than 2 mins. from wher i happend) i noticed that the right tire was further back than where it was supposed to be and that the right side of my car was riding a little lower than normal. So, i had some one to go in my car and move it back and forward in the parking space and i noticed that the tire would wobble. So, i had a person i know to look at it and we both thought it was the tie rod and later i had my uncle (who is a mechanic) to look at it and he said it was the a frame or the a arm but i'am still not quite sure on what it is. So i was wording if anyone has had a simliar exprience or KNOW what it may be to reply back thanks.

Take the wheel off and take pics of the areas in question?

i found out that it was the lower a frame(a-arm) so i just need to find out where i can get that part at for a resonable price.

junkyard

NAPA sells a replacement a-arm complete with new bushings and a balljoint for direct replacement.

Just a suggestion.
