Rear Upper Long Arm Replacement Kit for Rubicon Express - Jeep TJ Wrangler
The rear upper long arms alone, sized for Rubicon Express brackets. The most common single replacement in an ageing RE kit - the rear upper joints work at the steepest angle and wear out first.
The Duroflex joint
A patented joint in vulcanised elastomer reinforced with DuPont Kevlar fibre. It allows more misalignment than factory rubber, self-centres, damps vibration - without the noise of spherical joints - is maintenance free, and is rebuildable.
Specification
- Control arms: 1.625" x .375" DOM steel tubing
- Duroflex joints in vulcanised elastomer with DuPont Kevlar fibre
- Finish: Gold Zinc
- Fitment: Jeep TJ Wrangler 1997-2006 with Rubicon Express suspension
After installation: the manufacturer recommends a suspension specialist aligns the vehicle after any work on the suspension or steering.
Installation
Easy. 1-2 hours. No body modification.
A note on vehicle age
TJs and LJs are now twenty to nearly thirty years old. Expect seized bolts and corroded frame threads when removing factory parts - soak the joints in penetrant beforehand and use anti-seize on reassembly. Several reviews of TJ parts are really about this rather than about the part.
We import this product directly from the MetalCloak factory in the USA. Please contact us for the current lead time before placing an order.
