Default 3 link short arm?

I know that alot of guys over on Pirate and NAXJA dont run an upper link on the drivers side to prevent binding, but they're always on long arms. I somehow bent my DS upper pretty bad, would it hurt anything to take it out completely? Or is this a bad idea unless your on long arms? Im going to longarms soon and dont want to spend the money on a new upper Ill only use for a few months if I dont have to.

if you somehow bent your other UCA then they are probably not that strong.

so i would not rely on it to be the only upper link you use.

Theyre the RC adjustable uppers. Somehow I landed on a rock, without hitting my lower or driveshaft
