Came down on a rock a little harder than I would have liked and now my rear lower passnger side control arm is bent just a little. When I measure from center to center of the bolts it is 1/8 shorter than the driver side. Is this enough to be concerned with or will I be ok for awhile?

 

you will have issues with it and i would address them sooner than later. if you can't find someone to give you a stock arm, let me know and i'll see what i can't do about getting you one

 

Thanks for the quick response. I was afraid you were gonns say to change it.

I can get another one from a freind, what do I torque them to?

 

super easy to replace and you don't even need to lift your jeep off the ground. simply remove the bolts, pull off the existing arm and then install the new one. tighten bolts to 125 ft. lbs. of torque. if you have issues lining up the bolt holes, use a floor under your diff just behind the pinion to help get things in place. as i said, super easy to do and can be done in minutes

 

Too bad its not a front one, I would give you mine. Although it would be a good excuse to upgrade my rear arms... " But hun, Dennis really need our stock ones..."

Edit: Didnt you bend one before too?

 

Also check the freebe section on the forum.There are some members giving away thee stock control arms.

 

I bent the same one last year. But it was bad, this is just a smakk bend and I thought maybe I could get by letting it alone. Maybe I should get upgraded ones that won't bend so easy


Or maybe I could just learn to drive

 

Take a look at the Clayton arms. The lowers are square and they are absolutely sick, the dude says it takes a 100 ton press just to bend them at the factory...
