I had a slight accident in my car the other day (see thread Link)

And it appears the drive shaft has come out, and ive been told the "lower suspension ball joint" has come off?? how easy is it to put the drive shaft (longer/drivers side) back in and to fix the ball joint?? Heres a pic of the ball joint. (apoligies for bad pic, i just stuck the cam in the wheel arch)

Driveshaft's come out of gearbox btw. i know its still fixed to the wheel
