Default Broken control arm brackets
Hey all,

2001 1500 Sport, 5.2L, 4x4

The lower control arm brackets broke off the axle. Suggest? Do I need to replace the entire axle? Fabricate new brackets? Source new ones?

need some advice!

thanks
charles

Common where I'm at you have three options. Relieve the whole axle, reweld then back on, or use 3/8 American steel and make new ones (my favorite and my go to).
