Broken Upper Control arm but.

I replaced my front suspension to include ball joints upper control arms all tie-rods just before taking a trip from Louisville Ky to Powell Wyoming, Got home 2 weeks ago my wife went shopping and said the truck was making a noise on the right front. I jacked it up and the forward upper control arm mount bolt nut had broken off and the bolt was hanging out. The OEM nut was welded on, Do I need to weld a new nut on or install a lock nut and washer?
