How serious is my chassis’s problem

[castorino88]

I went off roading with my 2019 raptor, after hitting a rock the part of the chassis that is holding the tire got slightly bent and shifted the bolt. The truck drives well and the wheel alignment is good at the moment.
What problems I might be facing in the future? And what are my best options of repairs?

ah hell, thats normal...... well on my truck anyways. the metal is thin enough you can bend it back. i have done it a couple times on mine. i believe there are some companies that sell reinforcing plates for it as well

Just take it to an alignment shop anyway, they can remove the lower control arm and bend that back into shape, not a big deal, like @The Car Stereo Company mentioned. Happened to me the first time offroading too, be more careful and try to land on all fours

Did you make a mistake saying 2019 raptor. It looks like a gen 1 cross member . Anyways they changed design’s for gen 2 raptors but they still bend. I had Doug at evil manufacturing build me a heavy duty cross member and solved that problem forever.

No its 2019 gen 2 @Fuller1890

Here is a more clear picture of the damage

Interesting that they have a different cross member in the gen 2 scab vs screw. I wonder why they did that.
