Does anyone know of a US made rear upper control arm besides factory Mopar? Has anyone had them replace the upper (free) under the lower control arm recall? HJ

I believe that what Napa sells is made in USA, at least this is what I remember when I got mine.

Are you talking about the boomerang that goes above the rear axle?
JBAoffroad.com has one for about $160

Some mechanics call it wishbone... Check Napa, if I'm not going nuts, should be us made.

I just replaced mine with the Mopar from Rock Auto part number 52088901AD $ 355.32 to my door. Had Mopar tags
maybe the same one from Morris 4X4 Has the Mopar #52088901AD-M
No clunking now only from the trailer hitch and receiver.

Bought a Raybestos brand unit upper rear Professional Grade Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly off Amazon early last year. I believe they are made in USA. Looked to be an exact replacement of the OEM unit. Even had the same exact stamped markings.... :shock:

I think Mountainman found the Raybestos was Taiwan made. Anyway, that's how they do it. They'll copy it whether it's a dent or a date stamp!

Go to the other Liberty Site and look at the IRO WJ post, I believe that is what you are looking for.

otherwise Mopar or Chinese, I don't think there are any other options.
