looks like the bolt for that part of the LCA may be bent. whatever the case, it definitely looks stressed there. keep us posted on this.

Re: Lower Control Arm is stuck

That part is not bent. It's just a distorted camera angle.

Anyway, it's fixed. It seems it was not stuck, it just had nothing to adjust against since my ear is now gone. God only knows what that means but it's fixed now. They used a "come along" to pull the tire into place. It is as close to spec as we can get it considering the mud tires and lift. My rub is completely gone as my front tires are parallel again.

Gonna test it out this weekend at Harlan. We'll see what happens.

Re: Lower Control Arm is stuck

Re: Lower Control Arm is stuck

Huh, didn't hear you. I'm missing an ear, ya know.

I don't know. I do know that it is inside the frame. It is the piece used to adjust against.
