Basically one of my camber arm's appear to be worn out with excessive play in the ball and socket area. It's not like it's loose I have to pull on the wheel pretty hard to make it move but when I try it on the right side no matter how hard I pull it's solid with no play. It's just the left camber arm.

Is there an option of replacing just the ball and socket? And where do I find this part?

Basically when I'm driving my partner from behind can actually see my left rear wheel toe out drastically and wobble a lil. Ever since I adjusted the Camber it got worse. Driving the car is so dangerous above 50mph the car wants to pull erratically to the left or right it's a handful I almost wrecked the car twice.

The problem I have with this is the camber ball n socket does move but not as much to make me think that's what causing the car to shimmy hard from left to right. Because that only affects camber not toe.

So I looked at the entire rear suspension all the bolts are tight no bends anywhere. But I do think I have worn bushings I'm not sure but it feels pretty tight.

Contact whoever made your suspension arm, and ask them if they will sell you just that part.

But Id buy two. The other side is probably on its way out, depending on age, and how many pot holes you've hit with which side.
