Default Passenger Side U&L Control arms and ball joint change.
My son has an 01' Ram 1500 2wd. He hit a ditch and the passenger wheel absorbed the hit of the culvert, which bent the U&L control arms and both U&L ball joints and the tire is pushed back into the fender well. I've changed the ball joints about 8 mths ago so I'm familar with this job but not the control arms. Are there some tricks to this to make it easier on me?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
