this is what the right front side looks like, seems like I'm missing something For someone not mechanically inclined, can you let me know what to ask for and how hard a fix this is? Looks like it just broke off

if you hit a bump hard it probably broke your strut. i did the same thing. afterwords every decent size bump i hit it would click or clunk. if you replace your strut that should fix the problem.

oops, did not read all the way down. if you follow that to the bottom you should beable to unbolt the whole thing and replace it.
