Trash the D30 and put in a 44. This isn't really urgent by the way...

You have a lot of work for a competition tomorrow... just saying.

Can you even get the right parts for the 30? Since you'll probably have to JY the knuckles. Don't waste your time messing with bent knuckles. And how did dude even bend them?

You're looking at a knuckle out rebuild and a complete radius arm fab? With the alignment and install... solo? Good luck dude. The ujoints are probably trash from whatever he did, if the axles aren't snapped.

This isn't an emergency. Common sense would tell you it needs a new axle and new steering, and new suspension. I highly doubt you can find all the parts you need in 1 day.

Take your time.
