Control arm question

[wildcat]

i have had these on for close to a year now and really like them. i left them black though. they flex more than stock arms.

i have his tie rod installed too and his motor mounts sitting on my work bench waiting for a slow day to install them. i think next i will replace my infamous rusty's track bar with Andy's.

so whats the favorite version of Andy's LCA's? Poly at both ends, or Johnny joint on one end?

Looking at buying a set next week, trying to make the decision right.

[ironmanandy]

the answer to that question is application specific.
Daily driver low lift: poly on both ends
Daily driver tall lift: poly is ok but recommend johnny joint at frame or new rubber joint arms

Off road use often: Definitely use JJ or rubber joints to absorb bind and flex for longest lasting product. Our poly bushings do tend to last a few years though. The relief of the johnny joint or the rubber creates less stress on the weak dana 30 parts when in severe articulation.

Limit straps are always a good idea for really flexy rigs. You dont want your shocks topping out or your control arms smashing up your brackets.

Hope this helps

It does help, a great deal.

If I have to pull this axle to cut and repair the rust damage on the shock bracket, I am going to replace the arms, re-gear, and add a selectable locker while it's out.

Then wheel, break, repeat......but not so much if I do this right once.
