    I broke a lot of different things, but most unbelievable was front right upper arm:


    I never thought that it is possible... And at least 600 miles on it in this condition (hopefully I did not knew that). I'm really lucky man

    Wow, how did that happen?!!! That would suck. I have been fortunate so far, only the usual broken stuff Soon to add torsion bar bolts to that list. (see my SFIFS install thread)

    I'm not sure when it happened. I suppose this was due to I lost upper bump stop and drove fast on unpaved roads. I suppose the another award in my rating goes to inner CV that I broke due to improperly adjusted lower bump stops after diff drop. So, double check bump stops are properly adjusted after diff drop, so CVs are still in allowed positions on maximum articulation.

    Thanks for the heads up, I didn't even think of that, seemings how I am just finishing up my diff drop, and I went to low profile snubbers...
