I need to replace my front right control arm. Any suggestions on which one to buy?

Driving then boom right front slammed down and apparently the force cased the right ball joint to somehow open the width to a point where the ball joint does not fit firmly. It just falls out. Also, the tie rod got bent.
With that in mind and not knowing front end suspension at all, will I be good only replacing the right? I did replace the ball joint on the left and the tie rod on the right. It was after that when I found out about now needing a new control arm. All help is appreciated! George

Going to assume a 1970 and that you mean lower control arm. If the left lower ball joint was replaced with no issue there is no need to do anything on the left.
