Drivers side vs passenger side UCA

Hi

is this normal for these trucks. Look at the clearance on the drivers side uca and then look at the passenger side uca it’s even touching. I’m going to be replacing them here when my new JBA uca come so I’ve been looking around to get an idea of what I’ve got set out for me once they come

 

am i missing something? whats it touching? they look normal to me...

 

Right there

 

my apologies. i missed that.
definitely doesn't look right. truck ever been in a front end collision?

here's what the standard gap looks like

 

Yeah it was repaired from a front end

 

Oof. That’s a problem. Not gone be easy to replace that UCA with an inch clearance for a 12” bolt...

Sorry bud.

 

Gonna have to cut. Where can I find a replacement bolt?

 

Lol truth

 

Don’t forget to make a plan for reinserting the new one before you cut it out

 

Or make a cut right there?

 

Then I can bend inwards

 

Those are some sexy JBAS

 

Everything in there looks great!!

 

Wish mine would look like that

 

maybe not totally, that's going to be a huge PITA removal of that passenger bolt.

 

It wasn't bad when I took mine out. Just gotta get something long and skinny to pound it out from the non head end

 

that's what she said.............

 

your inner fender was not pushed over the head of the bolt though I bet. He’s gonna need to clear a path through some sheet metal
