    Are you talking about the ball joint at the end of the upper control arm? (#13 in the first pic)

    That's the usual failure point and the fix is to get a new ball joint and press it in or replace the entire arm assembly (about $100 from Honda).

    sounds like the upper arm and a busted ball joint, at least you didn't crash the car.
    I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
