Kraton Rear A Arm - Quick Fix

[Brker]

I split the rear A arm on Friday night, came home and placed an order for a new one. Since its the holidays, I don't think i'll get it for some time. So i glued it and repaired it with this.

Went bashing today and its working perfectly so far. If the Kraton is durable or more robust than it's competitors as everyone says, I can't imagine using another brand. Fixing it must be a full time job for those folks.

For a temporary fix why not, i have also looked into a plastic welding kit

I would not use it permanently as i imagine it would have an effect on suspension

I wonder how it will do on lexan ?

 

[Brker]

Agreed, I’ll replace it as soon as the part comes in.

@Vanning - this things hardens like concrete, you would lose flexibility with the Lexan.

Lol...thanks man.

@Brker nice temp fix. I'd recommend taking this chance to upgrade the stock a-arms to RPM a-arms as they are much more durable and offer a lifetime warranty.

• RPM 81402 - Rear a-arms
• RPM 81482 - Front a-arms

I replaced the rears a day or two ago. (Fronts were replaced a few weeks ago). The rear a-arms work, but do not fit perfectly. I posted pics on another thread. The v3 is different, and the vendors are not keeping up unfortunately.
