Re: Questions on Rubicon Express lift and control arms
I use to have the teraflex lower control arms but they were a disaster.
First the bushings will go every couple of years, then you need to
unscrew them and clean them and repack the grease. I even broke one
of the teraflex arms. Both ends screw into each other and I guess all
the winter salt and water leaked in and it rusted. Then the ends
seized so they would not rotate. I ended up taking a grinder and
cutting the remaining 3 off.
I now have the rubicon express ones (non adjustable) and really like
them, you can replace all the parts, as they are sold in kits.
Disclaimer - this happened to me and could have been a result of my
driving, offroading and maintance, I am in no way stating any opinion
on Teraflex lower control arms only that mine did not last and were a
PIA to maintain.
