ENGAGE offroad lower arm broke i need your guys opinion on this

this wont get locked

 

Nah Hass should come in here and at least speak up

 

Gussets? For the LCA? ...and yes that plasma is bombass!!! lol

How're you going to lead this into A-TRAC? lol

 

At least Raptor Arms don't fail

 

Where's the re-do button? I'd press it! lol

 

are you sure about!?

sorry, i meant to add ""gussets for the frame area around the LCA mounts"". i have small cracks that have been repaired all up in that shit. i have pics for reference if you like

oh that's simple...paging David K

 

Yeah I'd love the pics - I have some cracks I need to deal with - the trans x-member - I'd love to do one like Fire9xx's! I also have an FJ crush zone one too. I've stopped it but I probably need to do some-some on that one too!

 

how hard do you beat on your kit?

be honest lol

 

My truck has been pampered it's entire life!

 

yeah..... so has mine hahaha

 

Don't you do it!


FWIW, If you were using your truck outside of the limits of what the LCA was designed and built for, then I can understand Engage not wanting to foot the bill. However, good customer service and business means you take care of a problem created by your product. Send them pictures of every inch of your truck showing that nothing else major is damaged, because if you were running hard enough to break your LCA, odds are you'd do damage elsewhere to the vehicle.

BTW, them asking you to bring your (broken) truck from NM to Cali is unrealistic and unfair. It'd be well over $100 in gas with a possible end result of them denying your claim to get it replaced.

 

it's hard to pin point what exactly caused the damage, but one thing is for certain: Engage's name is on the damaged part and it's their job to do damage control. I'm interested to see what they would do since this is a 2nd gen kit.

Im just thankful that after almost 4 years, mine hasnt had a problem...but then again, I pamper my truck too

 

driverside..


same side..you can see how it's separating from the frame. the passenger side was the same but not as bad. i'm glad i caught it when i did before the cracks and separation got worse. Mike from All Pro TIG'd everything up and touched up the inside of the mounts as deep as possible since there are no welds at all from the factory.

 

x2

btw... ya jynxed yourself

 

I'll vouch for you!

 

Well I don't beat my truck like most people it's mostly a dd and I was cursing threw the wash at 25-30mph not even any whoops.. And if this problem has happen before think they would change the design on the lower a arms so this problem would never happen again....

 

Sorry if it's been said and I missed it, but how long have you had your LCA's?

 

I don't understand how this broke when Aaron (BLackehawke) Basically hit a mini grandcanyon and only bent a spindle.
