Title: ground anchor lower front control arms mounts
Post by: Dtimot8 on October 21, 2012, 04:58:40 PM

Hi Chaps
Bit of help / guidance please
When froading I have got hung up on the chassis end of the lower control arms a couple of times
I know taking another line is the better (cheaper) route
Does anybody have a whiz bang solution to try and bypass the sharp bits on this mount
I will be going Duroflex short arm in the middle of next year.  I am not going long arm.
Will the round bearing ends to the arms improve the situation? - or am I fooling myself
All comments welcome
Regards Lord Tim

On the chassis end? How the foook did you do that?

Normally it's the axle end and you get those Currie skids..

You been getting high centred then sir?

weld a bit of steel to make a smoooooth ramp to ease the prob :icon_twisted:

Tis that or more lift :icon_biggrin: ànd we all know that leads to lighter pockets :jpshakehead:

Thanks chaps
would the metal stitching be to the Mount or to the arm
I guess arm as this will allow for the articulation

Yes, the mount. But don't call him Shirley!
