Hi all was working on my car today and noticed this crack....

Can someone advise me what I need to replace and where's the best place to get the parts? I have a decent socket set and I'm confident having a go changing it myself as long as I don't need any special press or something.

Cheers.

Christ!! There's a couple on eBay I believe. Be ideal to get one with new ball joints while it's all apart, I'm sure you probably could do it with a socket set but you may run into some issues splitting ball joints from the hub etc. So there may be other tools required.

Can you tell me what this part is called as I'm searching knuckle and its giving me the outer part.
 
That is the inner part the EE bracket is the bottom section that has the lower ball joint in.

I sell complete rebuilt hubs, with new ball joints and they are aqua blasted so look like new.

I normally do them in exchange but your units can’t be rebuilt.

I also rebuild wishbones and rear beams

LH one is part #7701208962, the RH one is part #7701208963... The top balljoint is less prone to wear than the top one so you could look for a second hand one if money's tight. Speak to RPD or K-TEC etc.

p.s. It's inner hub or hub pivot, search part number and you'll get lots of results.

Also, it looks to me like someone has tried to bodge some washers above/below the ball joint? Changing the hub is a proper pain in the arse, easiest way is take the full strut out but you'll need some decent ball joint splitters etc.

Judging by those washers, I'd say that the bushing for the trackrod end is missing.
That, and overtightening has probably caused the failure.

Thanks for all the help and advise. I got this through the post today from France. Brand new and genuine complete hub assembly Inc ball joints and bearing.

With any luck I will be able to fit this myself.

That's all I got but have got new genuine inner track rods and track rod ends in the post. I'm guessing I'm missing something? :oops:
 
1 per side. What usually happens is they get stuck on the track rod and people bin them by mistake.
Here's a pinched picture
