Upgraded my front control arms... I was long over due [1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee]

[Dean]

Front lowers just fell apart as soon as I took them out:

Side profile of old vs. new:

Bottom profile of old vs. new:

Driver side upper was so bent I had to cut it in half to get it out:

Also put in an new heavy-duty adjustable panhard bar (which also had to be cut out):

I will post some action shots of the new suspension flexed out once I get back from my weekend camping/wheeling trip.

It does, but I noticed I also have a bent tie-rod end and I think the knuckle end of the drag-link might be bent as well. I have a stronger tie-rod but a stock drag-link. Debating about what my next move will be. So far it holds together just get some rubbing at full-lock.
