Guys...need some help here. I was unfortunate last weekends to bump my car into a side board and flipped over on to the other side. The 419 was quite tough except for a broken suspension mounting ball nut on the right front arm.

My question is :-

1. Is there a way to take out the rest of the ball nut thread that has been broken off and right now is stuck inside the front arm. If there is, I won't need to replace the whole arm. Wouldn't want to waste a good front arm now.

2. Any better and reliable replacement for the alu ball nut? It seems that it is quite soft so any hard knock would break it and it is a hassle to work with since its not a hex drive nut. I saw on Simmi car that he is using something else as a replacement to the stock one.

Thanks in advance !
