I got a 77 Midget this weekend; finally the MGB
has a friend.
We had a mishap with the trailer.  Seems the chain
got caught where hitting a bump put an upward
force on the car.  Anyway, the lower control arm
(lower spring pan) broke in the hole where the
kingpin pivots.  The drivers side is badly split;
the passenger side has a slight crack.
I have never examined a Spridget arm...are they
supposed to be split or should I be in the market
for replacements?
I take it that while I have them apart, it's the
perfect time to replace the bushings for the arms
as well as the front sway bar, correct?  Are used
lower arms okay?
Thanks,
