Default Control arm bracket fix

'96 XJ. Need at least the lower and maybe the upper bracket on the axle replaced on the passenger side. Ain't going to happen around here. Closest major city to me is Winchester ,Va. So does anyone know of a shop N,S,or E of there that can do this?

Check the yard in Leesburg. Can not remember the name, just remember it as the 'train track yard' If no go, then the yard going north from Berryville on 340. Between the two, neither is a you-pull however, you should find it. Also, you need to know if different between 'grand' and standard cherokee. LOTS of grands.

THANKS for the reply and I'll keep the info in mind. Actually Tuesday I located a former acquaintance about 45mins east of me who says he'll take care of the problem. Heading that way this afternoon. He has an older friend from the city who has a frame machine set up at his house if needed so I'm feeling confident it'll get fixed. If I need to replace the bracket IRO sells HD ones I'll order. Got a lower control arm on the way. Top bracket can be straightened.

Dropped the vehicle off yesterday. Now waiting for these. Anyone used them? I've got their shackles and am pleased with them so I thought I'd go with their brackets.
