Front Lower Long Arm Control Arms, Pair - Jeep TJ/LJ Wrangler

A pair of front lower long arms - longer and mounted further back on the frame than the factory items. A longer arm works at a smaller angle, flattening the axle path and settling the vehicle down both on the road and at full articulation.

What owners say

One review, 3/5. We quote it because it concerns fitment:

"One small issue. The arms themselves are very nice. Seem very durable, healthy sizing on joints and threads. Ran into an issue with the regular adjustable upper arm for the driver side fitting into the lower arm. Luckily I have fabrication experience and was able to fix with little work, but would have liked to had it fit the way it was meant to." - 3/5

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: 2.0" x .25" DOM steel tubing
• Duroflex joints in vulcanised elastomer with DuPont Kevlar fibre
• Finish: Gold Zinc
• Fitment: Jeep TJ/LJ Wrangler 1997-2006

Part of a system: long arms require the frame mounts (7087) and the belly pan centre section (7088 for 1997-2002, 7089 for 2003-2006). Contact us if you are building the whole system.

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 written instructions are supplied for this product.

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.
