My son has a 01 Nissan Altima GXE and needs to replace control arm on the front passenger side. I took it to a mechanic and he told me where the control arm connects to the frame is rusted and needs to be replaced as well. He wasn't sure of the name of the piece and gave me control arm mount or control arm frame. However, I cannot find this part anywhere so I was hoping someone could assist. The pic in the link below is not what my sons car looks like but just using it as reference.

? If this needs whole new support/sub frame to do this job because of rust what is the shape of the rest of the car, other side and rear? This IMO isn't normally replaced just "willy nilly" it might mean car just is too rusted to fix and you and son should know that.

Used by odds if just that a maybe I didn't find it aftermarket just FTI,
