Personally,I would have this done if you can't afford the tubular control arms. My '68 El Camino had a A-arm split in the balljoint area,causing the front end to drop to the ground & ruining a perfectly good rim. Luckily,it happened as I was backing out of my driveway. or it would've been pretty scary,I'm sure. The sad thing is we looked at half a dozen other A-arms before finding one that wasn't cracked or split.
