    Not sure quite what damage you have done, but the usual failure is corrosion between the upright and the trunnion.
    It is possible to fit a Walford trunnion that cuts its own thread.
    As I am currently (allegedly) not an MOC member, it's lucky I can post this advice.

      I may have misunderstood can you identify the parts
      here or there

      It may be that part 37 has been twisted as a part of accident damaged, as identified on other incidents.

          Try this pic, is it the passenger side you are talking about ? I probably have used spares for both sides anyway

          E mail the info on exactly which bits you need to me at home, my details are in Pitstop

                    The only parts that are handed on the front suspension, according to the parts list are:
                    Item 37 Pin and stub shaft swivel/Steering, suspension upright
                    Item 45 Trunnion/Lower Swivel pin
                    Item 60 Steering Lever

                    I reiterate, if the lower arm assembly has been accident damaged, Items 1 and 2, I would suspect that the Steering suspension upright may also be twisted.
