Re: Drivers side lower control arm mount

Thanks for the replies, Yup the lca seems ok but the mount is fubar, way out here I won't invest $$$$ so probably just remove the lca and bend it back. We only have 6 miles of dirt road here so not...

Re: Drivers side lower control arm mount

The wheel is pushed back towards the rear and it looks like the torsion bar has all but popped out towards the front.

Re: Drivers side lower control arm mount

Sorry,
I slid off of road and hit a boulder on drivers side now the wheel is pushed back in the wheel well. I can see the torsion bar sticking out further than the passenger side so it has moved.

Re: Rear Axle Issues

Yes I am thinking there is a brake problem. I removed the ABS pump and put in a proportioning valve a while back because out here there is no need for ABS, besides the pump was dead anyhow. I may...

No Drive or 1st gear on my auto trans

Here is the problem, Shift to drive and nothing, shift to 2 and take off then can shift to drive after moving down the road at about 25mph. Also shifting to first on this auto trans does nothing.

Re: Rear Axle Issues

ranger-ferd,
Not accelerating hard, the left rear seems to be wearing fast, at a dead stop I can be in drive or reverse and just a little gas and the tire breaks loose. And I have a 4.0 V6
