Title: 11' JK lower arms
Post by: M4wdFab on March 29, 2012, 09:03:27 AM

Ryan said my order shipped.


i called around for steel, they only have 6' in stock at SMC and thats going on the front of 571 at 10.50$ a foot   :o


i looked at my arms pile, and the lower arms from the CJ that already have the bend in them are pretty clean to reuse.

The tech at firestone seemed perplexed when I mentioned the washers spacing out the joints

Aparently they didn't check my caster since I don't have cam bolts and they don't understand how a "trailing arm" could be ajustable

"But my state of the art Hunter alignment machine says I have to adjust the can bolt to adjust caster. I have to do what it says!"

Got 97$ back in cash and canceled my contract.  I'll call that a win.
