No, I didn't just let all the air out of my airbags, this is what it dropped to...



I wonder if the welding was done on both sides of each vertical component it might have been OK...

The break looks pretty clean ... almost as if the welding had not been completed in this area ?

It looks like it could be fixed with no redesign .. just proper welding. ?

It is a very clean break, but the design is wrong too. I think had it been TIGed on both sides it would have been OK, but it is still a weak spot, there needs to be an extension of the current bracket to cover the side of the square tubing, not just the top.

I think the new ride height looks KEWL!

I think something very similar happened to the rear of the bus but I never got a detailed descrip or any pics from the guy that broke it. Glad you are taking it in stride, really just a minor development hiccup, yes? No real damage to the car or you?

Got her all fixed up a couple of weeks ago, but no GL forums!!!

Here's the welds, only about 30-50% welded through, so that was an issue, but really the design of the arm needed some help.





Here's the repair. The welds are pretty rough, I'm not that great a welder and it's MIG compaired to the old TIG, but I wager it will hang on a little better...

Volkdent have you made any progress on your wish bone set up? I'm currently looking into getting the red9 unit.
