Rear lower control arms
1966 Pontiac Bonneville four-door hardtop.
I picked it up as a parts car but this thing is wanting to run as in a lot better condition than what I thought so I'm going to make it just a basic driver for the wife. I installed a new master cylinder up front for the brakes and then moved to the passenger rear to start bleeding brakes and when I removed the wheel I discovered the passenger rear lower control arm is severely bent. Does anybody make these or do I need to try and straighten it out? |

A good used one is what you should be looking for. Demand for new ones is practically zero so nobody is making new ones.
Replace it. I wouldn’t bother trying to straighten it.

They aren't cheap but PMT Fabrication sells upgraded control arms for your car: https://pmtfabrication.com/product-c...ville-catalina
edit: they sell a kit, with adjustable uppers and boxed lowers. For a street car that's not meant for high performance they're probably overkill, I agree that finding some used OEM replacement parts is a better choice. |

Check with a specialty supplier like Franks Pontiac Parts out in CA for a correct nice condion used lower control arm.
