Went to change the oil today after a short drive to the hardware store, noted that the Jeep was swaying around more than usually but it was windy.

What is wrong in this pic? Oh besides the oilly mess,
Kinda hard to see, but look on the right and compare something

Is it just me or is there waaay too much red poly bushing showing on the body side of the lower control arm?

93XJeeper

upper control arm bent? Is that a hole in tranny pan?

SuperRA

Shock broke off? Hard to see.

What cookie would you like



I would also like to point out that I DO NOT have an oil leak but have a breather filter from the valve cover hanging down in that area and it mists everything with oil on that side...

I was like wow wtf I just drove this?
Musta happened the other day hauling *** over big rock on logging roads hunting morels... Maybe IDK.

I was focusing all on the driver side cause I still have a small poping sound over bumps but when I lift the body the wheel is solid. Just changed upper and lower bjoints plus HD heim trac bar, got rid of %90 front end clunking.

I bet the driver side control arm is broken at the top or some shiz I cant see.


Lol u other guys, mmm no I think my trans still goes shocks are attached and hell the stock upper arms could be bent.

Ordering new upper and lower kit next week.

These LCA's were "arc fab 4x4" just some indi guy on ebay, he hasnt been around for along time wonder why...

I suppose if I get something cheap again like these they will break again? But to be fair the bushings are pressed and they look better...

$280


Or some RC's $350


Well this is a stupid comparison, the RC's look way stronger, greasable heim joints and the uppers have a drop bracket.... Ok guess I know what I'm getting. Damn that was like half my stroker engine parts but I've been wanting new UCA's for awhile...

Now why do I have to replace my sway bar to frame bushings every 20,000 miles.... Need MOOG polys... Oh and JKS instead of these crappy thoothpick RC's quick discs

Nothing wrong with that. It's just part of a good rust prevention program.

Then I should move it to the other side to even it up ^_^

No but I do want to install a catch can...

I buy quality.

That's probably because you have not learned the joy of throwing money away on bargain basement products.

Chocolate chip? Is it delivered though my CD/Optical drive?

That's an odd failure mode for sure. Looks kind of like a brittle fracture.

how come the two bolts are missing from the drivers side lca body mount?
