Guys,

Crossfire 2004 Coupe (Australia)

I lost control around a roundabout in 2nd gear with traction off (I know I know ). Car fish tailed because of loose gravel all over the road and I did a "perfect" 180 degree turn and smacked the car perfectly side on into the gutter at around 50-60km/h... let me tell you the smack was so loud I was 100% certain i just wrote off my car!

The rear-right rim hit the gutter and took all the impact, the rest of the car and body was without a single scratch (I was amazed!)

So the damage.... rear right control arm bent, shock leaking, and the rim has minor crack, see pics below. The rear right wheel is not sitting flush anymore, its slightly bent (obviously due to the control arm)

I took it to get a full detailed suspension inspection to identify the damaged parts, and the following requires replacement (some parts are from wear and tear over the years). I need help locating these parts?

Front Suspension:

1. Lower ball joint (excessive movement, require replacement)
2. Drag link (excessive movement, require replacement)
3. Steering damper (leaking)
4. Power steering lines/belts/filter/oil (belt frayed, requires replacement)

Front Brakes:

Brake fluid condition (contaminated, requires flush)
Front pads (nea rmin thickness, recommend replacement)
Front rotors (below min thickness, require replacement)

Rear Suspension:

Shocks (RH leaking, requires replacement)
Lateral arms - lower (Arms bent)

- Can anyone please direct me to where I can source these parts online (I am from AUS and happy to ship them here from the US), they must be original genuine parts, I wont do cheap alternatives (unless they are a superior product)
