I have bent a few A arms where some people claim to not have any issues. Well my fix was to order some hard weld bars w/o carbides. Today I picked up my 14 and went to swapping them out along with the bars on my 13. I knew that the 13 had a good 1 1/2" gap between the hard weld on both sides of the carbide, creating a "catch" about 3/16" tall. This was my reasoning for ordering bars w/o the carbide. What surprised me on the 14 was the fact that the hard weld went all the way to the carbide, thus not creating the recess where the carbide can really bite into a rock.
Is this a change or just a variance in how the bars were made? Something to look at if you are bending A arms or breaking the upper ball joints.
