Mopar LCA swap

[DWheelerR]

The additional feedback is probably from the stiffer bushing which I believe are polyurethane but could be wrong. Mopar arms are still using a stock type rubber bushing that would absorb some of that harshness.

I think they maybe too far out.. Ill have to adjust them and play around a little.

I just swapped out my Mopar arms for adjustable Teraflex Alpine arms to get some caster back, and it seems to have made my jeep wander worse than before. I set them at 24 5/8. ( looks close to 1/2 inch longer than the Mopars side by side) I also notice a lot more feedback through the steering wheel now over bumps.

Are you lifted?

Is anyone running adj LCAs on stock suspension JLUR? I plan to lift once my 315's need replacing so only want to buy one set of LCAs.

I am lifted on 37s

So I'm kind of upset today. I ordered lower control arms and the rear widow washer check valve from @AllMoparParts.com. First off it took them a week before they shipped them out. Not a big deal if they had communicated a delay but they didn't ship until I emailed inquiring as to why they hadn't shipped. When they came today, well some of them did! The package arrived open in two places with one control arm hanging out and the washer check valve nowhere in sight. Arms are all scratched up too. The box they shipped them in was twice as big / long as it needed to be and there was only a little bit of bubble wrap stuffed in which obviously didn't do much. So I go to use the phone number supplied on the confirmation email and guess what. Nobody answers and they direct you to send an email. Also doesn't allow you to leave a message. Not a great experience thus far even though they profess to be superior

I'm sending them an email to give them the opportunity to make this right and will provide an update as time progresses.

Lol. I ordered a replacement LCA from them a week ago and it didn’t ship until I emailed about it today. Then it ships.

Hopefully it’ll arrive undamaged, the first shipment from them was fine.

I got a quick reply with an apology and what seems to be intent to correct. I need to supply pictures which I will do later day. I'll provide additional updates as things move along.

After sending photos @AllMoparParts.com is asking me to leave the package and contents outside for FEXEX (as they left them) as they are filing a claim and will be sending me a new shipment. So far they are handling this appropriately.

Sounds like the issue was the shipper’s poor packing more than FedEx’s handling of it. Hopefully they’ll pack it more securely and ship it more timely this time. Good luck.

I lean this way as well. The box was twice the length of the control arms. He can fight with FEDEX if he wants to as long as I get my stuff.

FYI for those interested about how much caster you get with Mopar lift LCAs on Rubicon suspension, I have 6.3° caster.

Finally got my replacement shipment yesterday. Of course Fedex left it at the wrong house! Same packaging which was still too big for what they sent. LCA's are fine this time despite a decent attempt to blow out one end of the package. So @AllMoparParts.com is redeemed. They handled this correctly. I'm now satisfied.

Are you happy with this setup? No wondering or drifting?

I had a very loose steering in my JLUR and the dealership replaced the steering box. The loose steering is much better with the new box, but now it seems to wonder more and I'm thinking of changing my LCAs. The only two that people are talking about on this forum are the Mopar ones and Teraflex. What about Metalcloak, Rancho, Synergy or Skyjacker.....or maybe some other brand?
My Rubicon is not lifted (only the factory ruby lift) and I put 35" tires on it. I don't plan on lifting it any higher but I want to fix this wondering problem. Any suggestions?
