Need some help...stock control arms
When I pulled the front end apart on my 71 1/2 ton, I noticed on my upper control arms when I took them apart that whoever has messed with it before, they may have over tighten the control arm shafts. With all the flexing that the control arms do, it looks like its been shaved on the edge of the flare by 1/32nd to 1/16th of an inch. Do you guys think they are okay and just clean them up or do you think I should just track down some new ones??? I'm planning on a static drop, so I don't have a need for tubular a arms.

Re: Need some help...stock control arms
I would say there is still a lot of matierial there to work with. If it looks like there are no cracks or any other wear I would use them, unless a good inexpensive one is handy. Maybe use it until you can find replacements. I would use it.
