Passengers upper control arm front bracket

[Don Bulee]

Hello,

Barnes 4wd (which makes amazing products and totally happy with them as a customer) is out of stock in the bracket for the upper control arm at least 40 days more (later september according to the guy in the phone), mine can hold with ease in the street for those 40 days, but I've planned a trip in a few weeks (mid-level wheeling) so... not sure if anybody have some experience with a "Streetrays" brand in ebay that looks kind of okay, or if I just should wait for Barnes... part of my question goes to... I'm not sure how much stress the bracket receives while wheeling, or if they just get damaged by a direct hit instead of a twisting (like some crawling would do)..

Artec makes recommended brackets.

No experience with those.

I love the RockJock tombstone kits.

I’ve had good results with them.

The upper right front seems to affect steering stability a lot. If it’s weak or worn, death wobble can be a result.

I have used them over the last few years on multiple items. Made in Texas is I recall correctly. They machine stuff pretty nicely and I have never had any issues with any of the multiple products I have purchased from them.

Hello,
mine can hold with ease in the street for those 40 days, but I've planned a trip in a few weeks (mid-level wheeling) so..

What about adding a simple brace/gusset.



Temporarily of course till your part comes in.

And just like that... The bracket is again on stock.... I think the guy who answered the phone had no idea what was going on...
