Driving home from work my passenger side a arm dislodged from socket. I need a set of arms for my DD asap. Does anyone know what's around before I order from jba? I have rock lizzard super skinks brand new not On the jeep I would be willing to trade arms for rails.  Thanks Andrew |

Looks like your UBJ blew out!  Yikes. Were you driving fast when that happened? Anything else get damaged?Oh, and you might as well order some JBA's much better in the long run, greasable ball joints, better geometry for our lifted KJs and they are fancy powdercoated red gloss! Sorry I don't have the OEM arms from my 06, or I'd offer them up. Hope it works out for you Andrew. |

Brake cable stayed in tact, not sure about CV?? didnt look wrong.I jacked the jeep up and tried to reseat the socket, yeah that didnt happen. So i had the truck sittin on all 4s when the tow truck came. I was just thinking the other day how I wanted to get them

I think you can get a new ball joint pressed into the A-Arms. The JBAs are a definite upgrade. I have my OEM a-arms if you want to use them temporarily. But it's probably easier to do once, instead of twice. Let me know, you have my number. |

The cheaper price is only if you are upgrading from an older set of Al's A-arms to the newest version. |

do they allow for more flex with the 3/8th inch of clearance you get? |
|
| Author: | LI_KJ [ Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:05 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: FML, help |
You will get more clearance if you cut out the metal on the tops and bottom of the a-arm pockets for full flex. http://jeepinbyal.com/A-arm_mounting_pockets.aspx |

gotcha, have you done that? |
|
| Author: | infernicus [ Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:59 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: FML, help |
I have done it.. Not that much though. Some people have said if you cut out too much, it will put your CVs at too much of an extreme angle when off road. |
