I have a 1997 ZJ limited and i was driving today and i cut the corner to sharp and i hit a curb... and the truck slamed on the frame. and i thought that was it. well it started pulling and such. and i looked and i SMASHED down the trailing arm bracket tht attaches to the front axle tube. can i just have it st8ened and welded back or do i have to change the WHOLE axle? this is the first time for me and the second time i have heard of this is it a commen problem? please help

What do i tell them.. as far as what to do.. i have a GOOD welding place nearby... do i take it there or a shop?

mike albo

the welding place should be able to fix it,I would see about getting a new mount though.

Merlinmagic07

the mount being the part that bent sideways and is attached to the axle tube correct?

mike albo
