How do i fix this... (LCA mount on axle)
Well did my wheeling damage inspection... and noticed my lca mount on the axle got bent... its weird as it was flattened... how do I fix this? Haha I was thinking just take it off, hammer it straight, and cut out 2 3/16 templates to help beef it up. And weld it up.

You can buy replacement brackets made out of 3/16 steel. They're relatively cheap I think you can get them from quadratec but not %100 sure

My friend did the same thing to his, he ended up getting the Rustys lower mounts. If you try to straighten them they will just break off. Here are the mounts he's running. http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...ry_Code=BP-B_S

Sorry for crappy cell pic. Mine did the same thing from being smooshed against a rock or ten. I bought the Rustys mounts but have yet to weld them on.

Ya this is my drivers side one. And I'd build one if it wouldn't cost me almost as much in just metal, the rusty's brackets are hella beef

I hate to bump up an old thread, but did you ever get this done and did you take photos of the process and/or end result?
I'm about to tackle this on my TJ's D30 and wondering how much of a pain in the *** it is.
