As the title said, I was driving home on the highway today and as I pulled off the exit the runner felt like a boat floating on waves. Scary.

As soon as I got home I jacked up the rear and found that the passenger side rear lower control arm front mount (the one welded on the frame) was broken at the point where the bolt goes through it to hold the control arm. It looks as though it sheared right off.

So... Anyone have any tips for fixing this? I guess a new one will need to be welded on there. Anybody know where to find one of these mounts? It would be sooo much easier if this weren't on the gas tank side!!

Thanks for any and all help!

Anyone know where I can get this REAR-END of vehicle, forward lower control arm mount that welds to the frame by the gas tank?? I gotta have this thing fixed ASAP.
Thanks!

 

Just make one, or have somebody make one for you if you're not handy with welders and cutting tools. It shouldn't be too hard.

 

call me dumb but i cant picture quite what your talking about...
a picture is worth 1000 words they say

 

I know, it is hard without a picture. Unfortunately I can't find one of this area. Just picture the rear-end lower control arm. One end mounts on the axle, the other on the frame. Where it mounts to the frame is where the mount sheared off.
I was hoping that there would be a frame/collision place online to order the bracket and just have someone weld it on. I'm going to a local frame shop and see what they say about how much this is gonna cost me.

Thanks guys!
