The item that holds the control arms together at the bottom of the strut where 15 and 7 go onto. Can you purchase this seperately, there is no part number for it.

is there something wrong with yours?

Nothing wrong, if I remove the thrust arm, then I won't be able to reuse the arm and I will have to press out the bushing for use another time. It seems easier if I just buy that part and new upper/lower control arms.

you do understand that there are non destructive ways of removing the ball joint from the plate, do you? i use a 3 jaw puller with that plate off the car and it saves the ball joint, no need to use a pickle fork if you know its going to kill the ball joint boot. or am i not understanding you?

agreed, I got a good one, pickle forks a thing of the past. Just make sure to torque them correctly and they pop pretty easy.
