It is realy the passenger's side on the black one, but now that you mention it maybe both!!!! Driver's side tire is new (spare tire) as I blew the sidewall (really due to a tire defect) and the passenger's has 36 K miles on it. that's why it looks kind of weird!.

 

I was just thinking how odd it is that jeep slaps a trail rated badge on the side but yet you can't even add "trail rated" lugs without compromising the vehicles safety and stability. Harsh. Those c's should never be an issue IMO.

 

You now what, I think most of the damage occurs on street potholes and not on the trails. At least, I never hit a hole at 20 mphs on a trail!

But yes, I totally agree with you!

 

if the Cs are bent how do you fix that?

 

I think if they're bent badly, etiehr a new axel, or cut them and weld new ones. If not really bad, you need off set ball joints to correct the angle, and then gussets to keep them from opening more.

 

muchas gracias amigo!

 

Does this mean that gussets without sleeves is not very helpful? Would sleeves have changed the outcome of the bent axel.

 

My C's are slightly bent :-(

All the more reason to buy a pr44!!

 

The guessets are only as strong as the housing their leaning on, Sleeves would help

 

As are mine after only 6 months of wheeling, pr44 is being ordered at the end of the month
