Yeah after some investigation that’s what I determined mine to be as well. Seems I got a not very balanced batch of wheels because every single one has about 20+ grams of weights.Mine rub at full lock on 33" tires with the +55 offset. The thud I kept hearing was when it hit the wheel weight.
Are you sayign the bolt on the bottom of the A arm is single use or is this on the upper control arm? I have mine I am about to put on but I want to avoid using a bolt over it thats not its intent.I believe this is the part number; W717969S440. They look correct. I've ordered a set and will update once I confirm.
The nuts that attach to the strut on the lower control arm are listed as single use. The RCI lower control arm skid attaches to these bolts. Even though I bought replacements, I reused the nuts and added some Loctite.
Yeah it was a fat wheel weight attached to the inside of the wheel edge
I know this is a pretty old thread but have you had any issues since installing the skids on your Wildtrak with 3.0? I just installed some tonight and didn't seem to have any issues but notice that RCI mentions they're not compatible with 3.0.
Nope. No issues to date!
Great to hear. I wonder why RCI says they’re not compatible with HOSS 3.0. They installed just fine and seem to clear everything.
I am, after having them on a few months. The skid hits the control arm a little. On the outer most edge (closest to the tire), there is hardly any clearance. I haven't hit anything or bent it, but now I am hearing a little clunking noise when I turn and am going over bumps. I think they updated their page after I had issues with the rear skids not fitting, they added the HOSS 3.0 that day as not compatible. They work just fine, but make some noise.
Have you found a replacement yet?
Nope. And actually after looking at the part number for a lower control arm, same on all Broncos, HOSS does not seem to make a difference. Not sure what the next step is.
