Control arm question

[wildcat]

i just got my set of upper and lower adjustable arms. the instructions say the bend goes downward. i understand down ward but does that also mean the bend goes on the axle side of the frame side?

[bigjim350]

Not sure what arms you have, but as far as I know they all have the bend at the axle side.

i have andy's adjustable short arms with bushings

think tony has pic ...

[bigjim350]

ahh okay. Well I would assume they should be installed like tony's. Think his have the flex joints but should still install the same.

[cantab27]

[wildcat]

[cantab27]

[wildcat]

i was gonna paint them red but i guess i wont now

[cantab27]

na mate red looks good ,,,,,,lol..lets us know what ya think of them

[rugidone]

Ya, the lower bend is there to clear the control arm pockets on the axle I think.

You should def. paint them green... will bring up the resale value of your XJ, and the performance of the arms... LOL... Just messing with you.. but seriously can't wait t see what you think of them once you get them installed...

Wildcat, install the arms with bend downward like Tony's. If you notice the 90 degree grease fitting will be pointed upward also.

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.
