Default Lower ball joint broken ire turned in sideways please help

The lower ball joint on the front passenger side has snapped turning the tire into the firewall. A frame is possibly broken... Hydrolic fluid was leaking and hope of fixing please help!!!

Your going to need pics if you want anyone to help. Had to help you if we can't see the damage. If the wheels back in the fender I'm going to say you need both ball joints a new CV shaft possible the control arms. I wouldn't think it would break the frame.
And I'm sure it broke the break line since you see fluid leaking.

Yes if your ball joint separated from the control arm then you will need a new control arm and obviously new ball joints. Funny, same thing happened to my friends blazer on the same side. It took us a full day to fix it so it wasn't too bad. His cv was fine and yours may be also, but if you're in that far get a new one. And for the fluid, you probably broke a brake line or damaged the caliper. Both of which aren't hard to fix.
