Default 07 axle problem

I was looking under my rubi today and checked out how my shocks were doing on my stock axle... I noticed that the metal connecting to the shocks are bending a bit where they are connected and my jeep has only undergone minimal offroading ( for now ). what do I do about this??

If you are talking about the front lower control arm mounts on the axle, Off Road Evolution has some skids that get welded on the bottom. This also gives them support from bending to the sides.
