Upper control arms
 

got a pair of southern upper control arms. great shape. the ones on the truck are rotten to hell. unfortunatley to take the originals off i cannot just unbolt them, the threads are to rotten. and as i can see the bolts that hold the control arm its self are welded to the bracket which then bolts to the frame. is that bracket replaceable? the 4 bolts used to bolt the bracket to the frame can be replaced but am afraid the bracket its self may need to be replaced as well.

the bracket is replacable.. im not sure if its welded or riveted, but i had a similar situation and the shop i used (cause i wasnt attempting this on a gravel driveway) was able to get the bolts out and replace them without doing the bracket

ok, i may use the torch to add a little heat to the nut to attempt to unbolt it
