i don't work a lot on jeep suspension but a customer hit a curb hard and bent on of the front axle pivot bosses bad, when is off by over an inch do they sell aftermarket pivots that can be welded onto the front axle?  this would be the left lower arm from chassis to axle.

 
It’s a Dana 30, so chances are more than just that bracket is bent. Best bet would be to just replace it, but inspect for a frown carefully if you repair or it’ll never keep axle seals together.  All TJs, ZJs and 2000-2001 XJs share a front axle (low pinion Dana 30), so donors are decently easy to find. Most automatics will be 3.55:1 ratio.

There are replacement pivots offered by many companies. Google is good but artec jcr and ruffstuff are good sources
