Pete M Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 If you're looking for stock length control arms, I'd go for some arms from a junkyard WJ. Strong boxed design and a bend for tire clearance. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 If I was going to replace my lower control arms, theres no way I would go back with stock replacement units unless they were free. I agree with the WJ replacements. The WJ upper arms are also the correct length to replace your upper arms and are built much better. I have a whole set that I will install when I finish my 4x4 conversion. Let us know what you end up doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfg67 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Pete, if I grab WJ arms from a JY, won't the bushings be crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Pete, if I grab WJ arms from a JY, won't the bushings be crap? Not always. Just look for cracks and dry-rot. Plus, the WJ's really arent THAT old, so chances are, they will still be in good form. Rob L. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfg67 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Good point! Does anyone know of a JY in Massachusetts/Rhode island/New Hampshire that has a WJ in stock? I've been to JY's in Millis, Carver, & Blackstone MA in the last week and they do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 You could try searching car-part.com for other WJ-only items and calling those yards about the arms. The WJ metal sleeves will need to be trimmed a bit to MJ specs. And this probably isn't required, but while I was in there I trimmed the arms and the axle a bit for maximum articulation. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
