Advice on Lower Control Arm damage & repair

What about a good front end/ frame shop? Get a good LCA and they could heat and pull that bracket back to specs. Then do the alignment .

I'm with bigblock. If that section of the frame is actually bent/tweaked, you shouldn't have any problem finding a shop with frame straightening equipment that could un-tweak that one small section. You own repair guys could then replace the bolt on parts, although if your own guys don't have the equipment to do the alignment, you might be better off (save yourself some time and running back and forth) just having the frame shop do everything.

That must have been a good sized pebble is all I can say.

My shop does alignments, but don't think they do frame work. I'm thinking I should start by making appt, give him some time to assess it, instead of the quicky look yesterday.
I'll also start checking around for a frame place.

I think it happened when I came off a ledge and couldn't/didn't see the large drop, and landed on a "pebble" (). The dent does look pretty much like a round type shape.
