So, I think my axles C's are bent. Anyone want to confirm this for me. I bought my 08 X with 34.5" tires and a 4" RC lift.

Here are some pics:

Anybody have a solution? New axle is probably out of my price range at the moment...


Thanks for any help.

 

I think that's how they look. Cause I have a brand new jeep and they look like that.

 

Oh yea the best way to look is take a pic of your jeep from the front if your top of the tires are inward then it's bent

 

Okay, I'll snap another pic.

Another question though, are the upper and lower C's supposed to be parallel? Im referring to the ends where te ball joints are.

 

Oh I'm not sure on that one. I know there's another thread somewhere around here and it has pictures of someone who had put balljoints on and had a nice shot of the C's but can't remember where I saw that at so maybe someone else can read this thread and put in information on that.

 

I'll try and find it. Thanks for your help.

Anybody feel like taking a look a their C's for me ?

 

Those are stock sway bar links and u have a 4in lift u might wanna get that fixed first. The c gusset look fine though

 

You need to have an alignment done to check if the camber is within specs. If it's OK, I would get some c-gussets welded on before they do bend.

 

Ha. Arriving today actually! Thanks though.

As for the gussets though, that's kind of why I was wondering and looking at them. I didn't want to try and gusset a bent axle. I'll get an alignment done this weekend. Thanks guys.

 

Not bent c's
