kyleag89 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 So I went to clean up my spare D30 the other day and found that both LCA mounts were rusted away! I didn't have my camera with me so no pics yet. They are too far gone to be fixed, and my 2wd axle tube LCA mounts are different, so no cutting and welding there. Is there any place I can buy new mounts and weld them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkbruin Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Lots of places sell kits, how beefy do you want to go? T&T customs, $40. http://tntcustoms.com/hdlowercontrolarmmounts.aspx M.O.R.E., $30. http://www.mountainoffroad.com/_e/Tabs_ ... racket.htm I am a big fan of anything T&T.

Automan2164 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Depending on the gearing, I would just replace the whole axle. They ain't that hard to come by in certain gears. Rob L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 It is a PITA to pull an axle off at the junk yard and then pay $75 for it... I can just buy those mounts for $40 and be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 $75 is dirt cheap. Around here at least. And the axle isn't that hard to pull. Four control arm bolts, take the calipers off, 4 driveshaft bolts, shocks... I can have one out in 45 minutes. Another thing to think about is that if the one set rusted off, how far away is the other? Rob L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yep you can get ANY axle you can find for $75, but the employees there are all jerks and its hard to get them to lift the truck for you so you can even work under it. Also both mounts on the axle are bad so I would need 2. Don't forget the PITA trackbar that is soo rusted you can't easily get if off at the JY.
