I initially thought your control arm had failed as shown on twinockchef's picture:



Like he said, I would consider taking everything apart and check/replace everything as per needed. You should take the lower control arms and suspension springs out while all is still in the car to use the weight of the car: put the front of the car on stands, put a jack under the lower control arms, loosen bolts and shock absorber and lower the jack. That's a good way to get the springs out in a controlled manner. Then you can put another stand under the oil pan with a wooden plank in between. You can then drop the rest of the front axle.

Once you're done with the front including steering linkages etc., you will be ready to replace all rubbers on the back axle! I'm only half kidding, you won't believe the difference in ride, handling and comfort.
