car leg actually means automobile's undercarriage, to be precise.
undercarriage consist of shock absorber, steering tie rod, steering tie rod end, knuckle arm, lower arm, drive shaft, trailing arm, etc...
satria GTI's undercarriage design is exactly like proton wira where the front suspensions are supported by one Suspension Crossmember Front. If replacement to the lower arm does not help, probably the suspension crossmember front is bent too.

there are many names used to refer undercarriage parts.
anyhow, to enlighten people here, the crossmember that the_catacombs mentioned about is found in Proton Iswara / Wira / Satria / Waja. if refer to EON's spare part catalogue, they named is as Engine Support Member.
the crossmember i was emphasizing is horizontal at the left and right chassis. this is called the Suspension Crossmember Front which mounts the lower arm.
for the rear suspension, that piece which some foreman call it the drumstick is the Trailing Arm.
