I’m working on a 1959 Skyliner (FE-powered) that was driven far too long on failed lower control arm bushings. One bushing wore all the way through into the control arm, as seen below. Is this something that can be safely repaired, or should I be looking for a replacement arm?

A word to the wise if I may, since it's a suspension part, if going to re weld it, make sure the surfaces are properly de rusted & cleaned for welding..
... N.B.- Just noticed that this subject was some time ago, but it's worth mentioning anyway..
