Artec lower control arm brack Horseshoe

[myjeep3]

I have a set of artec lower control arm bracket I received yesterday for my front axle, and unfortunately it is missing the horseshoe pieces, and I was hoping to finish and install the front axle today. I can call them tomorrow but I won't see a replace until maybe Wednesday or Thursday.

Possible to run the control arm without the horseshoe if I get an adjustable lower arm? Amazon would deliver tomorrow

Or maybe I can fab my own, but wasn't sure about those adjustment markings on the horseshoe.

My other option is to get another dana 30 from market place geared at 4.10 for $250, but thn will need to regear rear later on as it's 3.73.

I just need the axle installed today.

You don't need the horseshoe. The clamping force of the bolt is always what has held the control arm in place in that slot.

If you feel the need to. The bolt still won't care.
