    Looking for LH front steering arm

    Hi guys - Does anyone know where I can buy front steering arms? FFR sent me two RH front steering arms, so the PS tapers up as it should so that the tie rod can slip in from the bottom, but the DS is tapered down (after scratching my head for a while I realized that it was another RH steering arm that I had unkowingly installed on the LH upside down). I thought about boring out the hole so that the tie rod would fit, but I'm guessing that's not a great idea. Breeze? Summit? Thanks again for the help!

    What did FFR say about replacing it? Do they both point to the right? They should each point to the outside with the larger hole towards the ground.

    Those are custom parts only available from Factory Five. It's their error. Why aren't you getting a replacement from them? Do not modify and use the wrong part.
