Welcome to the forum.
Yes, the front lower control arms are retained to the body w/ formed four-wall box sections as-shown in the images.
Have someone create this part, or grind off the welds from a donor vehicle to snag a used part, remove the old, then weld on the replacement.

Old fart with a wrench
Before you get too involved, look at the UPPER mounts and make sure the frame isn't cracked out already. Those are a lot harder to fix. My 97 ZJ broke out a rear lower arm mount and when fixing that, found the rest of the control arm mounts, both front and rear, were barely holding together. That's when I parted it out and bought "Jessica", my 2000 WJ.
