probably true.....

well , I have some good news.....after heating the arm in the oven @ 350 Degrees... for about 30 min, I was able to straighten the arm out... to the point of where it's barely noticeable.....which is good.....so now I'm back in business.....for now......But now I'm on the lookout for a 2 front arms as a backup or wait for UE high Impact arms to come out again....thanks for the suggestion Mike L....

No way you'll get that puppy straight. The hinge pin hole's will not line up anymore, nomatter how hard you pound it with a hammer.

Pretty sure Mike can get you a new one.

Be warned heat treating alum is a really bad thing. The arm become's brittle and will bend easier. Do the hinge pin hole's line up too?

I know heat treating aluminum is bad....but it's only a temp fix.....untill I can get 2 new ones or the high impact ones come out.....here is a pic of it after I fixed it.....

You can still notice its just bent, and as sneeck said it won't have the original strength it had. The new ue arms look quite interesting, personally I would wait for those.

Hopefully this can get me by till they become available again....if they ever do.

No Problem sj but still you can temporarly drive your truck until the new ones come in.
even though that wont have the matched strength as a new one but can be still used for now.;)
:)

I'll just take it easy on it for now.....I'll just have to wait for the high impact ones to be available again...or just get the racer x lower arms.....boy do i hate decisions......
