Do you mean Lower Control Arm Mounts? If so just bend them back and box them in with something similar to the JKS MiniSkids

OR, if you just bent the LCA's just replace them?

Are your axle tubes bent?

I had the same problem from a wreck. The control arm brackets were bent and torn a little from the axle. I was told I needed to replace the axle tube ($1200).
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED : LCM-1 lower control arm mounts from Rusty's offroad. The old brackets are cut and ground off, then these babies are welded on. They even have the caster adjustment fingers for the cam bolts just like stock!
Plenty of people have control arms laying around from installing lift kits. I was fortunate to have someone on this group give one to me (great guys here!). Post a wanted for the arms here or on Craigslist for the arms.
