upper control arm mount question

[Fiji]

ok excuse the crude drawing but my question is,

drawing #1 on the left represents the stock upper control arm axle mount

drawing #2 on the right is the mount i want to make for the upper control arm on the axle

question is, do i have to have an enclosed mount like drawing 1 for the upper control arm or can i have an open mount??




the only thing that i see is that drawing # 1 limits articulation or over-articulation,

[Fiji]

anyone?

[bigreen]

what u mean closed or open??

[Fiji]

the first one has a top on it, the second one is open on the top..

[bigreen]

yes it limits articulation...but increases strength greatly...id do this (just what id do)

[Fiji]

that is an interesting concept.. thank for the heads up!!
