bent D30 UCA mount

[Anak]

Who makes such a thing?

And are there other names for it?

My Google-fu isn't yielding anything useful under "Dana 30 bushing cradle".

I know JKS offers a few, I think Rusty's does too.

That looks good. Do you remember which one you bought? Did it fit inside the stock bracket or did you have to make modifications?

At a minimum you'll have to do some work. I always remove the inner lip and trim the cradle to fit.

Follow-up on this: I ordered the Undercover Fab kit. Not the cheapest but its really simple and seems quite sturdy. It comes pre-welded so only had to cut off the stock one, grind the axle tube smooth, and weld on the new one. Didn't have to disconnect anything except the UCA itself. Only took a couple of hours. The others seemed to require multiple welds and I didn't want to drop the whole axle.

The best thing to do is just replace the whole mount. It's a POS to start with. If you do wanna just bend it back and weld in a brace I sell one.

I was looking for that earlier. I replaced the whole thing with the UCF piece now
