P700 700-4 front upper a arm mounts

[Baldeagle]

Has anyone else had a problem with there top front a-arm mounts bending? I had the upper drivers side fail. The problem started from a weld with poor penetration. The mount then broke partially out of the tube. Limped it out of the bush, took it home, pulled back into place and rewelded it. Also added a support which ties the rear mounting bolt on the top front a-arms together. Got a bunch of miles on it now and mod is working well.

Yes they should have had a verticle support that the a arm mount attached to. On the other hand. I believe my fix is a permanent solution for my machine. If anyone needs pictures, I can post.

Pictures please? Just hit a decent rut in a field and now my passenger side tire is about a quarter inch farther back from the drivers side

Ive been kicking the idea around of moving the front a arms ahead some to be able to clear 30s without a bunch of lift, would be perfect time to fix this issue before it leaves me stranded on the trail.

Yeah I've got 4 inch portals with 28s and I still rub at full compression forward a arms would be great!
