Front lower control arm bracket bent. What to do?

[broncoboyty]

Wheeling this weekend I took a good hit to my passenger side front suspension and a rock bent the lower control arm mount. The rig drives straight and feels ok. But the tab is bent pretty bad.

How do you fix this? Does a new tab need to be welded on? Who would do this?

I am in denver Colorado.
Thanks

Bend it back with a big adjustable wrench.

I bent mine as well pretty bad. Good luck bending it back without a torch and proper tools. It’s thick steel and won’t bend with a wrench. I had a shop bend mine back and then we welded these on.

Barnes makes some great parts for our Broncos..

Used large vice grips to bend one back enough to remove LCA.

Looks like you have an aftermarket bash plate. The RCI comes the closest to that control arm bracket and protects it more. I was able to get mine bent back with a crescent wrench and hammer.
