What would you do with this?

COYOTE BLANCO · Dec 17, 2008

So I went wheelin' a little last weekend, hit a rut a little hard and this happened. Bent both upper control arms, and the left front lower arm mounting point. Both lower control arms look straight. Anybody have some skills to patch this back together? I'd love to go long arm but, well you know $$$$$$. Any ideas?

Take it to a frame shop. Have them straighten it all out and weld it up...then you make some extra gussets when you get it back.

And buy some drop bracket braces! That is why they are sold with drop brackets now.

Yeah, you're missing the drop bracket braces. Probably wouldn't have happened.

I'd cut the mounts off and go long arms.

If you can wait a couple of weeks I can fix them up with some 1 1/2 X 4 1/4" wall. Mucho strong. I can also fab you up some muy bueno braces out of 2X4 1/4" wall.

Riverside ain't that far north of you Troy.
But, when you live in the middle of nowhere distance is relative.

Long arm it. If you got full coverage report it, and use the money for the LA.
