reinforcing upper a-arms
Can someone point me in the right direction for info on reinforcing my stock upper control arms? I broke my passenger side upper hopping this past weekend. I tried searching but no luck. Thanks.

Re: reinforcing upper a-arms
Are they extended? To reinforce them you will need to plate them them with 3/16" or 1/4" steel. And I would do uppers and lowers.

Re: reinforcing upper a-arms
No, they haven't been extended. Should I plate the tops or bottoms of the control arms? |

Re: reinforcing upper a-arms
