Also, check the cross member that's got the bent up tabs at the frame. I've done that a few times and just hammered them down again. But it is welded to the frame all around the inside, so just check it to make it is not seperated or ripped anywhere.

I asked the dealer how this locking nut/bolt system could/would ever come apart....they admited that they may not have tightned the lower arm bolt when they had it off replacing the balljoint.

Had you had any suspension work done previously?
