bobbyc Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 i'm keepin the stock arms on my 240....but i'm wantin to clean them up...years of road debris and POs have taken it's toll on them. as of now i have drilled the spot welds out for the section between where the sway bar mounts...i'm gonna use some thicker steel and create a new mount in between... i have seen pics of them tearing. my main question is...i'm gonna totally box these things in...it'll add a little weight...but really clean them up...esp once powdercoated. if i box these in...can i remove that lip on the edge where the stock spot welds were? so they are square all the way around? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus_RacerX Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 i have seen pics of them tearing. One of mine has a crack and pulled thru where the sway bar links in. I'll repair or replace. Let us in on what you do to fix yours when you can post pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cut off the flange there you'd have to weld the corner when you boxed them in. I don't think there is anything too wrong with that, so long as your welds are good. An alternative would be to make a new arm out of square, rectangle, or round tube, although that is obviously more complex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
