Hello everyone. I have a 2007 Rdx, a couple of days ago someone drove it and had an incident where he unknowingly ran into a curve that was protruding from the middle divider on the roadway, this affected the front and back tires and the front rim got really damaged, on checking under the vehicle we found that the ball joint connected to I think the lower control arm(if I'm right) was bent out of shape. About 6 months ago I changed the complete lower control arms in the front both sides(come with a life time warranty). We put on a spare tire and tried to drive it but after a few miles or after about 10mins, the tire ripped apart and we had to park the car somewhere again.
My question is, do I contact the parts company and get a complete replacement of the lower arms which will come with the ball joints or do I just buy the ball joints alone and try to get it fixed?. I need urgent help. Thank you.

Not sure if the one marked with a blue X is the lower control arm, but im guessing it is, and the one marked with a green circle is the ball joint.


Thats hiw bad the front wheel looked after the incident.

I hope that someone is paying for the damage. A lifetime warranty doesn't cover damage for hitting something. You need to check everything for damage because it takes a big hit to bend the lower like that.
