I did the same thing two sundays ago. It was raining and I went too fast on a turn. I got my car back from the mechanic yesterday and it cost me 330 bucks. My lower control arm and my rim needed to be replaced.
If you havent already, I would check junkyards. If not, you will probably have to go through the dealer for a new one?

does anyone live locally that can suggest a good place to go to get these parts? i can replace them myself, seeing as how the A-Frame is only 2 bolts, and the wheel is only 4 lugs.. if so please give me some suggestions as to where to check.. im only 17 and this is my first real car.. it hurst my heart so to speak, when i drive it now, knowing that im probably doing more and more damage every time i drive it, the way it is.. the aframe is twisted.. i dunno.. its 10:00 CST and i just got home from work (lifeguarding) so im about to go to bed.. thanx for all the help guys  it is very greatly appreciated!  Sincerely Jai

Oh yeah, Don't forget to get an alighnment afterwards. you never know what else you screwed up. Just go to bell tire though.(most other places just send your car there anyways)

Jai, try

They've got the front control arm (A arm) you need. You'll have to try junk yards, etc., as other suggested for the rim. Good luck.
