I've reinforced my w arm on my 03 Venture with gussets and rewelded. I did notice that the top of the arm where the shaft goes through was bent. I was able to straighten it but was wondering if there was an easy way to beef up this part of the arm without taking off the shock bracket. I just got a stiffer center spring and figured that I should probably stiffen things up a bit. I noticed that a lot of the used ones I see for sale are usually bent as well. Thanks.
