Default Need help identifying part

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, as I am pretty new to the RC world. I bought a cheapy RC car off of ebay. I believe the brand is Great Power, so you probably already know that there isn't a lot of info available on this model. The one I got is a 1:10 scale electric. My problem is that I have broken part of the wheel assembly and I don't know where to get the replacement part or even what you would call it. I have posted a picture here and I'm hoping someone could help me identify what this part is called and possibly where I can get a replacement. I have searched but I can't seem to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Steering block or steering knuckle are the words i use for this part. But where to get it i don't know. Have you searched eBay for parts? Or tried Google?

Yeah, I've looked everywhere, but I think it's such a cheap car, there aren't many parts for it. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry to say, but i think i have to agree with you on that. Maybe you can use parts from another car which have pretty similar steering blocks as yours?

Can you drill a new hole for the ball end a little farther up on both sides?
