dirtydownunder Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 hey all, i have a bent steering arm (the arm that has the hole for the balljoint) i have re-wheel aligned it but becuase its shorter, at full lock that wheel can turn further and the rim rubs on the lower control arm, this arm is also bolted on and tak welded in place. You cant buy the arm seperate from the complete hub/stub axle. can you buy aftermarket ones can you bend these back or do i buy a 2nd hand one and bolt it on and re-tak it. thanx Quote
2001Stroker Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 I think you're talking about the knuckle. Take a picture of what you're talking about, post it. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) ok sure, this is what im talking about this is what the normal other side looks like this is what the bent other side looks like and this is what it looks like when its full locked.

2001Stroker Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 OUCH! That peice is cast. You could try to heat it and bend it back, but that would either make it really weak, or just break it trying to do it. I would buy a new one. I'm sure someine on here has one. I personally wouldn't trust bending it back, since it is cast. Quote
