xj lower control arm

(1/17) > >>

reptile610:
ok after i bought my xj i noticed that where the lower control arm connects to the axle that the bracket is bent like a pretzel on the passenger side, i was also told that somebody in the club just replaced the bracket. i was wondering where u bought the part from and how strong of a welder i need to use to make it safe for the trail.

calvynandhobbs:
Rich, this question is for you. I told him that I thought you got your lower control arm mounts from Rustys, but was not sure.

PaulW:
ya you can get them from rustys.  and a 130 amp mig should be enough.

reptile610:
ok, i'll have to put an order in for 1 on the next paycheck since they're $60.  can anybody help me out with this, your not allowed to use a welder or anything like that at the auto shop on base so im kinda screwed at the moment.

kirksjeep:
Here is a link to when Rich fixed his.  The "hardest" part is pulling the front axle out to get a good weld.
