tommudd,

What are your thoughts on just replacing the joints and bushings with moog parts? The parts total only 60-70 bucks or so. Have you heard about anyone having problems with it?

I replaced all my bushings and the ball in my boomerang with moog parts. The boomerang got pretty mutilated during the process. The old joints didn't wanna come out, even with lube, so it started to crush it a little. Each bushing hole got mushed a bit during re-installation also but it seems to be holding up fine. NEXT time I'll buy the whole arm though...or make something that doesn't suck...or sell the jeep before I have to do it again hopefully!
