ZJ Control arm broken
well guys, today i finally saw what was making that clanking sound when hitting small bumps. My right front contol arm started tearing apart from the where the bushing is housed. WTF!
 Anyone ever had that happen? How much would a new arm cost me. What about welding? Thanks

Re: ZJ Control arm broken
I'd replace, rather than weld. With a weld you're likely to have the geometry off enough to ruin your alignment.

Re: ZJ Control arm broken
i replace the arm today. Brand new with Bushings. The differnce is night and day. No More Rattling over bumps and no more vering to the right when the steering it let up. The old Arm was completly torn on on side of the rear bushing bracket. cant believe they used that thin piece of metal on such a heavy jeep.
