26 years welding experience; some of the advice you Clowns give is nothing but a joke. Someone has to say something.



That's not exactly a high stress part. We had that discussion previously.

Have you measured the forces in the upper control arm? In most situations it's essentially along for the ride. The LCA controls the majority of the fore/aft movement, takes the cornering loads, and handles the spring.
The upper arm keeps the wheel from falling over.


Exactly. I have seen suspension loads aquired with wheel force transducers and strain and accel data on the frame at various points. Feets hit the nail on the head.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
