Rear Upper Control Arm Bracket Broke Help
Pretty much the title. I got a guy that will weld it for me, but he said I would be better off getting a new bracket and he would do the rest. But I am not sure where to find one. I look on websites but it looks nothing like what I have. The whole thing is disconnected from the bar...

It's just the drivers side, the other side is very nice and clean.

Any help would be nice, I live in High Point, NC. Feel free to email me at emoemery@hotmail.com if you can help me or reply here. Thanks so much.

I just had the same deal happen to me today. It's only cracked, but the whole rear axle is rolling now. Looked like the bolts were loose, too. Might've contributed to the downfall, I know it prolly didn't help much, lol.

weld it up and have him put a patch over the crack, should last forever.
