88 GTX subframe question

[FE3TMX5?]

Hello everyone, I am looking at picking up a 88 GTX, one of the current issues it has is where the front drivers side lower control arm bolts to the car, it has two "tabs" that the bushing slide into then a bolt goes through and a nut on the end. One of the "tabs" rusted and broke off flush. So I can make a new one and weld it in, or see what other cars use the same front subframe and swap in a new one.

I don't have pics at this time, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Brandon

Rear subrames interchange mostly, fronts don't. Clean the area up nice n shiny and gusset yer new tab. Cover it in POR 15 and call it good.

whoa!! saveable yes. altho that whole unit is pretty rough off. you can cut that cup section out of any BF/BG & re stitch it in place.

Alright but there are no interchangeable subframes for a BF 323?

Standard 323 front subs should bolt in. I'd replace all attachment points based on those pix, by weld or by parts swap...

No bolt in subframes for the BF..correct. That looks like a whole lot of stitching. How far back is the corrosion?

Those are the only pics I have sorry.
