Broken Axle... =(

[alanizgod]

Luckily the good news is that it's not on my honda, but my 89 S10. Well the front left decided to buckle inwards and now it's sitting put. I know it's not accord related but I'd appreciate some help with this one. I'm not planning on fixing it myself or anything, but can I get some estimates from previous experiences with this problem?

89 i cant even remember what suspension it has but prolly the ball joint failed. As long as nothing is to bent it shouldnt be to much.

Sounds like upper ball joint to me, had a 91 Jimmy with the same problem..

Nah it doesn't look like it's bent but the lower arm is just kind of out of place...its moved down but not busted or anything. After looking into it I think it's just the ball joint that failed on me and unfortunately it's leaking break fluid now. I guess fixing all that on top of getting an alignment on it should cost a pretty penny but I love that truck :D
