Hey JP (Just Pounding????) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
I have a few sets of A-arms that show small signs of cracking as well near the ball joint. Welding and gusseting of this area should be an okay repair. |

We weld up the seams.
JP.. I promise those failing have been involved in some form of accident prior to the current owners. I was just recently taught how to look for a bent control arm.. you would be surprised how many people are running around on bent arms. They bend right at the ball joint socket. B |

Where's the start of this topic? Does JP have A arm problems? Hate to start a book in the middle!

I think this goes way back to a topic we had either last spring or winter.
