I run Rough Country long arms is it safe it if i remove the passenger side upper link? The mount on my axle some how is almost completely ripped off until i get a new one will it be safe if i drive with the passenger side arm off?

 

Would you be referring to the passenger side LCA mount? If so, I would recommend that you get it fixed ASAP and not drive it otherwise.

 

Youll be fine to take it off, you can even leave it off for good. A couple other companies sell their LA kits without a passenger side UCA. Youll finde that it will flex better as well.

 

I would say no with a y link.

 

Double post

 

The lower control arm mount is fine its the upper control arm mount that is pretty much snapped and just curious how dangerous is it to run the y link setup like IRO does with their kit? Only reason im asking this because its my DD and i dont have the money at the moment to buy nickel rods for my stick welder to re weld the mount back on

 

Pictures?

 

I dont have a pic at the moment the jeep is at a friends house 20 miles away near the trail where the mount broke i didnt want to drive home a broken mount but can i just remove the passenger side mount and be fine daily driving it?

 

Unless the mount itself is cast then you shouldnt need to buy nickel rod. Unless i'm missing something?

 

Im pretty sure the tube it self is cast and the mount is steel

 

you will gain no flex and make your suspension weaker than stock.

the only cast is the center section. nothing special needed to weld it.

you can drive on it, i wouldnt exactly wheel on it though.

 

Do you even need to ask... If it sounds unsafe then it usually is

 

Please explain how this kit



with the UPPER PASSENGER CONTROL ARM the one that is not cast, not sure how that even came up but, removed is any different and/or less safe than this one?

 

I fixed it i welded the crap out of it with a stick welder and alot of preheating with a rose bud torch

 

You should be able to drive without one upper link on a radius arm set up.

The better question would be what caused the failure?
