| Description of the problem | I took my jeep in to have it looked at because it started making a clicking sound. They told me i needed to file an insurance claim to repair the jeep. The actual wording was "upon inspection found impact damage on lower right control arm. Drop down shackle bracket from frame has broken at weld points. Recommend taking to the body shop for repairs." the service man told me i would have noticed when i did this... I have not done any off roading recently and have certainly not done anything to cause this issue. Then i looked at the issue..... I also had a professional welder look at it... The weld was not done correctly. There is no welding marks on the second part of the weld.*dt*jb*dt*jb |
