Default 2002 raptor left wheel problem

hi all, well i was pulling wheelies with my raptor and it got away from me. I tryed to over compensate and it fell on the front left tire pretty hard. Now the wheel is angled in, about an inch to far. I took a look at it and it looks like the bolt that comes from my upper a arm to the wheel is bent. I was wondering if anybody has had any exprience with this problem and would be able to give me some advise on fixing it. I'm not sure if i have to buy the entire a arm or just get a replacement bolt. Thanks again Jeremiah

Sounds like you just bent the ball joint. You can replace them.

So my question is can I just replace the ball joint or do I have to replace the entire upper a arm. I’ve haven’t had a chance to take it apart yet but from what I can see it looks like the ball joint is molded into the a arm???
