Driver side axle end LAC bracket broke, snapped off. I have read on the internet and discovered that bracket breaks off pretty common. I ordered new bracket. I have a welder who can do the welding I will do all the prep.
Should I replace the control arms now since they will be half off to replace the bracket anyway. Should I pay more for better ones? My jeep has OME springs 2" lift 2001 sport 230K miles the lower LCA does not seem like it failed it looks like the bracket failed.

Also how hard is it to replace the LCA any help is nice

 

Swapping the LCAs is easy. You can swap them with the Jeep on the ground, one arm at a time.

Why do you want to replace your LCAs? At 2" of lift, the stock stuff should have enough adjustment to set the caster. If it were me, I would weld a new mount on and keep gettin it. Spend that money elsewhere on the Jeep.

 

Did you even read any of his post? Haha he says why he's considering it. Not explicitly but it's implied because they'll be off.

OP just make sure they look ok. Maybe swap the bushings. Unless you ever plan on lifting higher, your stock arms are fine.

 

I paid $30 for 1/4 in. thick mounts. You can add skids to them to add strength & slide over stuff better.

 

I was not wheeling just driving

 

I am not the best at posting pictures here.
I am thankful for all of ya'lls responses.
I will stick with stock LCA should I replace that one?
Anything else look in need of replacing
