Lower control arm reproduction?

Hey guys, so i had my Dart in for a alignment and the driver side lower control arm is bent so bought a used one off a classic car slavage yard cleaned it up and am worried it is bent to not knowing until i get the car aligned to see how it is.. but i have been on Ebay and Year One and all they have is upper control arm reproduction. and have been googleing for sites but all i can find are old lower control arms. Hotchkis has a full kit but thats way way out of my ball park haha.

I ran into the same issue with my Valiant. E-bay seems to be the only place for them.

I have a NOS piece in my garage nestled snugly where it will stay for all eternity, it is a spare for my Duster, both of which I shall never part with.

lucky lol, but i did find a reproductions company that makes a tubular racing kind but a little pricey
I got my old salvage car yard lower control arm installed and wow what a difference because originally my Dart had a little lean to it before, now because of the new arm it raised the left front up 3in to a now level car!! my old arm had a fracture and about a 3 in bend in it pushing the lower ball joint up causing it to ride low haha. the front end is almost complete i just have to do the upper control arm and ball joints and shocks which i have monroe gas charged shocks and i am all set for a daily driver im stoked

Crazy4carz has said that the tubular control arms are not worth the money. For what most of us and how/what we use our cars for, we wouldn't see/feel a difference.
