I just removed my passenger side front LCA and thought I was being smart and wratchet strapped the hub to the upper control arm. Didn’t really think it through and when I removed the LCA the hub assembly was supported by the UCA/axle.
Any chance I damaged anything? I’ve since strapped it to the frame as well as putting a jack under where the ball joint would go.
How would I know if the axle has been pulled out of the diff?To clarify I am wondering if letting the knuckle/hub rest on the upper control arm with no support underneath would the axle come out of the diff even just a little? But the more I think about it, I doubt that would happen since I still had the tie-rod end connected as well as the knuckle to the UCA. I imagine it would would pretty hard to pull the axle out of the diff with those still connected? Is there anything in the suspension/frame that limits how down the UCA can travel on it's own?
The droop didn’t appear to be too much.. axle appeared to be fairly straight?
