Front Wishbone Damage

Reassembling the front suspension has revealed an issue with the front top wishbones. The wishbones are supposed to have a spacer to prevent crushing when the ball joint is tightened but it appears a previous owner has missed this. This has deformed the wishbones which have now been replaced as per picture below.
