209 FE5 Strut

My daughter wrecked the car and broke the control FE5 arm on right front aluminum.
The Chev. dealer fixed on insurance.
I want to replace just the left strut.

Is this the strut I need for FE5?
Cobalt FE5 Strut LH 19181251

Is this strut mount kit I need.
CED Upper Strut Mount Kit CED905907
Or do I have to buy them seperate
Bearing 22712116
Mount 88964326 Seperate

Sway Bar End Links This one OK?
Moog K750012 Sway Bar Link Kit

Do I need bushings for body?

One more thing can you press/cut out CABS and change them if ball joint is good--I have a big press and know how to use it.
Part # for CABS ?

Lots of questions Thanks.

ok so she broke the Control arm ... and your replacing the strut ? Not too sure im following but yes that is the correct strut.

You can re use the old top hats and bearings if there in good condition. Those are the correct P/N for the strut mount kit from CED. (i would just re use the ones you have if its low miles)

You can also re use the seats, isolators, boot and bump stop from the wrecked strut.

The End link im not 100% on the moog p.n but that looks like the correct one.

Is the front sway bar bent ? If not then the bushings on that are fine.

Yes the cabs can be pressed out and new ones can be put in, moog makes a nice replacement CAB for the FE5 as well.
