    Mk5, Lower Control Arm, ball joint, embarrassing mishap!

    Struggled a bit lining up castle nut openings with proper torque for cotter pin insertion.
    Used thin bushings under nut with better luck but had a cotter pin snap inside with damage to the rod threads with castle nut removal.

    Should the ball joint system be replaced?
    Does anyone have a vendor/replacement part number for this ball joint?



    Thanks.
