    Sorry for the dumb question but I just want to know what to prepare for going forward. I am replacing my LCA and was impact happy and ended up bending the bottom part of one of the tabs(pictured) I have heard of people having bent tabs and their alignment not holding.

    if this is the only bent one out of the four on one side, will I be fine? Or should I prepare for tab gussets in the future? Thank you!

    The only time the tabs do anything is when adjusting the alignment (bolts loosened), if the bolts aren’t torqued correctly, or “extreme” off-road situations where the force exceeds the clamping hold of a correctly torqued bolt, but that will bend the tabs anyway. I’d bend that sucker back, but I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.
