suspension arm?

Hi

 

Just failed an mot for a front offisde suspension arm.

He said although arm looked ok - it has slipped down from its bushing and is nearly resting on the chassis.

I think this is when I hit one of sheffield's large potholes - car went with a right bang!! :(

 

He said you probably cant get these bushed, so may need a replacement arm with bushes in?

 

Do you know if I can buy replacement bushes? take it off and fit them? or get a garage to?

 

I can try and get a photo if it explains anything better.

Other than that, everything else on the mot passed with flying colours

Thanks for the reply - I have attached 2 photos - 1 showing the good side and the other (yellow chalk) showing the collapsed one.

If I take the arm off, can this definately be rebushed? or does it need a replacement arm?

 

Is this arm actually called the suspension arm?
