Default Help!! Lower control mount damage

Hello XJ fam. Over the weekend I slid off a snowy road into a hillside and into some boulders. I hit the passenger side lower control mount on the axel and bent it pretty bad on the boulders. Can any of you recommend a local shop or someone that works out of there garage that can help me with this in the Los Angeles area. I don't have a big budget and thought someone on here can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

See pics below of the damage

Nice xj I would replace them or you can try to straighten them but then you would have to reinforce the mount so it won't bend again , I think a new mount would be better .

Artec LCA mounts. I did the same thing on some rocks. Went all out and bought inner c's and a truss as well since I knew my axle was going to be out anyways.

TNT makes a great set you can buy. You're lifting pretty tall, i'd suggest their high clearance mounts that set the mounts flush with the axle so it barely hangs down. Raising and sucking the mounts back will give a flatter control arm angle too.
