Can someone guide me on this part???

i was told by my mates that it looks as if your car is litte tilt on the passenger side from the front i was like i dnt think so....

when i measure the gaps by fingers there was approx a finger equal difference of distance between driver and passenger side innitially i thought it could be the upper arm balljoint bush as normally i diagnose that whill driving in speed of 5mph i right turn the steering "tukhh" or kinda "tonnnn" noise come i made my bro turn the wheel for me in idle position of car i felt the ball joint slips and make noise but its not loosen not sure whats the problem could be boots are intact also...
2nd thing is that i found a broken boot whose upper end joints the frame and the lower end on lower control arm... broken rubber but with like half a foot gap and displaced....need to know possible cause and part name of that boot
pos the broken bush i was talking whts its name???? n part no.

The link below depicts a multi-angle view, of the part in question, to aid your perception:

The part shown in the first picture above has separated in the middle at the 'rubber bush'.

Replace both.

Breezy's got you on the sub-frame mount.

Word of caution on this one... It can be a bit of a pain in the ass to get this mount on. At least it was for me. I ended up cross-threading the shit out of the threads on the frame of the car and had to use a tap to fix them and a die for the threads on the bolt. Don't be an idiot like me and don't use your fancy, new impact gun to put the top bolt back in.

Here's the link to the upper control arm: https://www.acuraoemparts.com/auto-p...t/knuckle-scat

Unfortunately, it looks like you cannot buy an OEM upper control arm ball joint, you'll have to replace the arm itself, part # 5 or 6 in the picture. Would recommend sticking to OEM parts for as much as the suspension as you can.
