Found one 21 miles away from the zip you posted for $35. But the description says it "LOOKS GOOD".

How do you check if a BJ is good off the vehicle??

Be careful! Don't be driving on those control arms long distance on HWY speeds!

RAYMAN975 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 01, 2009 7:22 pm

oh dont worry, i wasnt going to drive it 10 feet, that thing was bad!

i just finished fixing it. i went to a junkyard down in massilon and got a upper control arm for 35 bucks, all fixed! much much nicer shape than my old one. much tighter steering, now when i turn my wheel on the highway or around town, my jeep actually turns instead of slop.

I'm still getting the upper control arms from www.jeepinbyal.com .but they can wait a little bit until i can afford them. now that my jeep is safe to drive again. the passenger one i got replaced under warranty with a mopar brand new unit, about 6 months ago. i got the extended warranty when i got my jeep used. but this time around i couldnt do that because it expired

ThunderbirdJunkie has a pair of new arms sitting on top of his toolbox.

$50 each+shipping takes them
