I’m rebuilding all eight control arms and front and rear track bars. There’s a few videos out there that shows you how to do it, but I wanted to show what wheeling in Florida sand looks like a year and a half and 13K miles later.......
Also…. I wanted to start a thread where you can talk about any suspension shit, from any manufacturer, that you want to, and not worry about derailing the thread…….
Now to be fair, I’m not easy on my rig when wheeling, and we get twisted up about every weekend, that’s a lot more flex and stress on these arms then the average jeeper.
These newest bushings seem to be night and day better. The way they except the grease it looks like there’s better coverage and they’re super tight around the ball, so less penetration of water and sand, also looks like they’ll keep the grease in better. Besides that, they’re RED, that automatically gives them badass status, lol.
I’m sure there’s some technical way to explain it, that’s the best this uneducated cave man can do....
If you don’t have a fancy press like me, this is how I got the bushings on the ball. That’s a 32mm socket and I used a 32mm deep well socket and a hammer to install assembly back in the arm......
In the end, these bushings are like $12.00 per arm, for the amount of flexibility and awesome road manners these arms give you, to me it’s well worth it...........
