3800 HIT A CURB LATERAL ARM???

[cacicgtp7]

Well took a turn in the snow tonite and lost the back end of the car. Clocked a curb and it turns out i've screwed up the lateral arm, or i think it's also a control arm. So me and my friend took off the broken one and the car is just sitting on the jacks. I think the only place to get a stock replacement is the dealership but does anyone know a part number or what this is going to cost? It seems pretty simple to re-install the whole thing. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hey that would be awesome if you have an extra, just let me know. As for the install do i need a realignment or do i just replace the arm and then good to go? Thanks

Does anyone know how to get the lateral arm on and off? It seems that the top of the lateral arm that is connected to the frame can't come off because the gas tank is in the way!!! We seem to think that cutting it off will work, but then how to get it back on? HELP!!?!

I hit a curb about 3months ago n mine broke, it was 45 bucks with my employee discount through dodge... the dealer put it on for me for free.. it unscres out of there took them about 10min take tire off then the arm

Your lucky!! We're still having problems getting it out though, tomorrow i guess i have to go up to the dealer and pay the 60 or what not dollars for the new arm.
