Default Help Please!

Hello Everybody first of all thanks for taking your time to help me figure out whats going on with my S. =/

Okay so first things first I've had my S for a long time now over 20k+ Miles 3+ years. I've had this car from my teenage years so I did sadly abuse it. ='(
Now that I'm older and realized the young me was a dumb ass I'm trying to fix up my baby.

Okay so along with my problems first of all car was great when I first purchased it nothing wrong, no shaking, nothing. Awesome!

After my first incident at drift track, I let my buddy drive my car. ='( This resulted in him spinning out and crashing it into the wall with the front right wheel taking all the impact. roughly 30 MPH. It broke this ball joint not sure if that's what it's called here's a picture. Also during that same incident I do a have a video of the whole thing which i might upload. But after hitting the right wheel the car managed to get the rear passenger wheel on top of the stone barricade. ='( after this I had the car in the shop for about a week to have the necessary parts replaced for it to be drive-able again dude to lack of funds. ='( ever since then going over 60+ mph the car will shake from the rear passenger side.
I'm not quite sure but I believe that I have changed the rear lower control arm for a used one from ebay. I know I changed the control arm not sure if it was front or rear more than positive it was the rear. Any who I've been driving with it like that for over a year now. =( Finally got a good lump sum of money to fix my baby. Also to cause within that time to about 8 or so months ago I would occasionally drift my car. Usually when its wet. Since than i have hit a few crubs with the 2 rear tires.

Which brings me to my next issue.

So after I realized how much of a dip shit I was I've been driving regularly like a normal person, I don't drift or race or anything anymore.

So recently in the last month or 2 my rear driver side wheel will make this odd thumb or clunk noise when I go over a bump even the smallest bump.

Below I have a video of the sound it makes when I go over a bump also the picture of what I replaced. I know this seems like a horrible way to treat an S. Probably most of you cringed and hate me for doing such a thing, trust me I hate myself for destroying such an amazing car. But I'm trying to fix it all now and give my S the care and love it needs. So any help at all is much appreciated!!!

Thank you to everyone who took the time and effort to help me diagnose my troubles! I will be posting regularly on the recovery of my S if anyone is interested!

Here's the video showing what I replaced!

cant say for sure but check the suspension leg spring it might be broken and any bolts that were taken out make sure they are tight.
