Alright, so I need to replace a lower control arm, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a stronger one that would fit, that I would be able to get a hold of easily.

why do you need to replace it? i have broken 2 in the past and found that i didnt need to replace it first time round. if it has broken at the droplink connection then dont worry, you can weld a plate of metal ontop of it, drill a hole for the link and it will be better/stronger than new. dont be fooled if a dealership says "ohhh its gonna need a new one" as they are talking out of their arse!
i will get a picture when its daylight, of my fix, to show you what i mean

sorry for the delay, i remembered on my way home from work "must get photo"!! here you can see the metal plate welded on top of the arm with the nut, washer and bushing on top of it (easy to remove those parts). i found my drop link snapped at the base too, so got a guy to stitch weld it on both sides - now stonger that before as well. i have had these parts break on my old justy as well, and once on the rear lower arm..

I'm confused, is there an issue with your control arm (connecting the knuckle to the subframe) or the swaybar links (in baron's pictures)? -Terry
