That's a broken cup joint. Take the car back if you can and then order some aluminum ones. There are various vendors that sell them. That way one the new car's cup joint breaks you can replace it with one that will last.

www.rcmart.com will ship anywhere. They carry aluminum xmod parts. As far as a d.i.y. fix and don't know of any that will be affective.

Hey if you haven't bought from rcmart get it from this guy. Good prices and shipping would be alot cheaper for you since rcmart is i think in hongkong.
