a arm bracket cracked
My front lower control arm bracket is craked in three places and I want to replace it. Its the bracket that is welded to the frame. I only need the bracket and do not need the bracket that goes under the crossmember. I can only find both pieces sold together at a hefty price. Anyone know where I can buy just the bracket that gets welded to the crossmember ?
Thanks,
Mike

Well I found a company that sells the upper bracket by itself for $ 65
He also sells used brackets with the bottom gusset for $35. He also told me that he sells more of the used setups than the new ones.
What do you guys think ? would you buy a used upper and lower a arm bracket of a new set up ?
Thank you for your opinions

If you can find a competent welder in your area, why not have the cracked bracket rewelded? It will be as good as new and you won't have to remove it from your frame. You'll also avoid the hefty price and only pay for the welding, which you'll be paying for anyway, if you have a new one installed.
