lower control arm axle mount bolt hole wallered' out - help

help - my bolt was loose and made a nice sized hole in the lower control arm axle mount

- is there a sleeve, or fix for this?
maybe weld a heavy gage washer over the hole and remount bolt?

thanks for your suggestions!

There are some weld-on mounts out there. Rock Krawler has some, not sure who else does.

Weld on washer is the best bet.

Washers are soft metal. Weld a piece of AR 500 steel or similar and it will never wallow out again.
