rear control arms

[SNAKEBIT]

2nd time to replace since I iboughttruck new Dec 2011.
anyone replace cheap rubber with press in urethane bushings ?

Don't know if somebody makes poly bushing for the stockers. But you can find stock replacements for like $40. Plus you wouldnt want rigid poly bushings if the truck was 4x4 and you will be putting her in 3 wheels. The stress on the mounts would be crazy with poly bushings. That works on muscle cars because you want both tires planted to the pavement so if you lift a wheel is because you're switching the tire

I replaced all 4 on my 2010 with Dorman OE arms for $140 total.

One of the best thing I did was buy Core control arms , the stock arms and bushing are terrible IMO.

What he said! The stock ones have no weight to them. I replaced mine with Core 4x4 last year. The difference in handling was immediately noticable.

Clayton off road here, I can't compare them to core, but both companies are a vast improvement over stock, but they both carry a premium on the price tag.

Cant believe how much better these trucks handle with new control arms, track bar and a sway bar from Hellwig.

How many miles on the truck and what are you using it for? I’m planning on buying Clayton off-road arms myself. My trucks a pavement princess/weekend off-roader. Mostly pavement princess though. Used for hauling stuff around.

Then there's guys like me who had a high dollar set of custom control arms,and took them off,and put the stock arms back on,lol.

I would upgrade. Either Core (out best option) or you can go middle of the road price wise with our new offering from Freedom Offroad. Both options are much stronger than stock and will make the rear feel much more planted. They will also eliminate wheel hop!

Contact me by PM for more info and pricing.

Yeah my truck wheel hopped pretty bad, zero now after the Core arms installed.

Nicks got great prices as well.

Oh yeah, couple of mods in your suspension and she will handle like a dream on wheels , starting with Kings 2.5 race shocks, Clayton Overland+ rear arms, soon Clayton panhard, Hellwig sway bar with Core sway bar links

They didn't really do anything for my truck,and they were heavy as hell,lol.One of Robs/Cutter-ups short arms weighed more then all the stock arms did,lol.He used to build suspension components for high horse diesals so they were way over built for a 500 horse regular cab shortbox 1500,lol. The arms are now on Kurtis Hollands/Charonblk07's 1,000 horse truck,as he ripped the Spohn bars he had on his truck into 2 pieces,my truck doesn't come anywhere close to Kurtis's truck for power,so he needed them more then me.

Clayton made their rear control arms bushings to wishtand the factory Tq specs on their rear control arms, which we share from our 4th gen 1500 trucks since FCA borrowed them and fitted in the Jeep. I adjusted all of them on my Claytons to 195 ft/lbs.
These are factory specs on the Jeep 20/21 Gladiator, in this case we're only looking the rear control arms to confirm specs. Factory RAM is 190 or 200, so i splitted the difference and went 195
