The steering arm extention is plenty strong, but its attachment point to the spindle is Extremely weak!!
Is that what?? about 1/8 to 3/16,s thick Id want a 1/2" minimum.
Both of those steering arms need to be replaced with stronger, smarter versions before Id run that car again. Somebody focused on the strength of the steering arm extention and not its attachment points. Im sure they know that now, Get her fixed Vic! Im glad you missed the bullet on that one , mike
Wow! do I ever agree with you. Lightweight is fine but that setup is suicidal. I would NEVER use aluminum for those parts.

I'll have to go and look at mine, I have an LRT k-member. I know mine is an older version and Rob was building a new design of steering arm, but has told me that he is not interested in making any more Mopar front end parts. If mine are a similar design I'll be oredering a set of Bob's. Steve

my steering arms are 70-75 billet alum.
and i dont sell them seperately to use with other front ends.
