Default compression arm replacement-



I installed my cusco a-arms and realized this on my passenger side. How long would/could you go and how much damage would be caused if it wasnt replaced right away? Not a DD vehicle. Lowered with coilovers. LCA has the engergy strut-mount and innner bushing replaced already. Trying to get it aligned before import alliance next weekend and curious about this. May take it to to beach -(4hr) and to import alliance (6hr from beach location). Or I could just take the dd to beach and come back and get the car which would narrow it to a 2hr drive there.

My passenger side failed a while back. Don't know how long i rode on it but it definitely made a noise when i made right hand turns that were uphill. I just bought a used oem arm and swapped it. Car was already in the air and front cross member was already off for the engine swap so it wasnt too bad.

The high risk part is if the bushing separates from the arm as you remove it. If it gets stuck..........ugh. Lots of work to remove it.

Idk if I can knock out that out by next weekend. It doesnt look 'fun' to do. Always something.
