I have the power of the english language.
anyway, something is screwed, and I'm looking for some advise 
the front right wheel has a nice, unhealthy wobble. now, what causes this, is where the blue doohicky connects to the read whatchamecallit.... (see pic) http://img47.echo.cx/img47/885/aaa7tl.jpg http://img17.echo.cx/img17/9241/bbb9gr.jpg now, is this something I could fix myself? what parts would I need, and is there anything else that should be looked at while the thingo is apart... 
THANKYOU!!! |

If youre not confident, you might want someone else to give it a go for ya
You're probably like most, and dont want to see a wheel go flying past ya

nah, I'm confident enough (not my car

First make sure all wheel nuts are tight! -Mine came loose once LOL!
If that is not the problem jack the car up and shake the wheel. If it is loose try and see where it is moving. Are you getting this wobbling only at speed or at all speeds. Only when turning? Most probabily a ball joint or something like that. I havent heard of suspension breaking where you were indicating. I think it would more likely be wheel bearings or a ball joint. Perhaps don't drive the car untill you have some money?

I don't know... all of "my" mechanics seem to be on holidays at the moment... lol |

the bush is just worn out. buy the looks of it some has put a camber caster kit in there.
not that hard to go to fulcrum of some where and get a new kit. just make sure you get a wheel alignment after you fit it |

I've done a few things with cars...... alternator... brake pads.... if you put it back together the way it came apart, there can't be any problems... its just when you have parts left over you start to worry....
