jhuggz 87 4x4 pickup

Hey all i live in LA and one weekend i went to vegas and had my truck parked on the street. Long story short after a good weekend i come home to my truck being smashed into. The front drivers side a-arm is toast. Have a few extra bucks right now but not sure what would be a good/affordable replacement to get...

Thanks for the advice in advance

A problem well-stated is a problem almost-solved.
A picture paints a thousand words.

What is an A-arm that gets destroyed when a car gets broken into?

I believe he means smashed, as in collision. My guess is the UCA/LCA.

Advice for a replacement: Get a cheap commuter compact car (Corolla, Camry, etc) and SAS the truck. That's basically what I'm doing with my engine swap, and I wish I had done it years ago.
