Hi guys,
I changed my front control arm bushes on my GT last year. When removing the front passenger side bushes, I noticed that the car had had a pretty nasty bump over something previously, which scored the control arm pretty badly as well as the front mounting point ( the thin-ish metal which hold the bush in place to the car and a 17mm bolt then goes through it )
As I uprated the bueshes, to polybushes, so I remove them after a few months to clean and re grease thhem. Its always a bit if a nightmare to try and get the passenger side control arm back into the damaged mounting point. I noticed when I removed the arm a few weeks ago, that the mounting point had cut into the bush and split it.
Has anyone got any ideas how I would got this repaired? I'm guessing it may have to be welded back up maybe?
Thanks
