You missed another conversation of his...he was asking b/c if you were going to replace it, he would need it for testing purposes.

Yup Yup! Sorry I didnt state that. If you do happen to get a new one then let me know because I would love to get my grubbly little fingers on some Upper and Lower CA's.

I have replaced the uppers on mine and a few others. I think I have an old one still around.

We have also replaced the lowers on a KJ out here but there were bent very bad. Sorry Wally for bring it up. Hey It was still a fun day right?

The lowers are a very heavy duty piece and they are seeing a lot of force...Just besure you have this tested before you install a new test piece on a KJ. I work with all kinds of test labs if you need help with this.

Again...the lower control arm see some very high loads...

The parts are kind of heavy are you up for the shipping. I thought the uppers were already done by someone. Jeepin Al? Am I all mixed up? later...Clint

Yea I think Al did the uppers. I was just thinking about finding some lowers somewhere and swapping them out.

i replaced both lower front arms when doing accident repair, both were bent and cracked badly, even they are cast steel they seem to bend.
