Advice on Lower Control Arm damage & repair

[VX KAT]

Picked up a real nice LCA today at LKQ salvage.

This was just too easy, you go to a clean building, enter an area with a counter.
Employees come to you and go gets part you want from their inventory, takes about 3 minutes…you're in/out.

They don't even have a yard where you can go pull or anything. It's all warehoused and inventoried already.

AND they were cheaper than any other that came up on search using car-part and mypartshop. $35!

Most wanted $50, one even wanted $100.

It was so good, I bought the Passenger side too just in case.

just in case.

That will get expensive if you get carried away. Ask me how I know.
