RE Super Flex bushing swap
I found a good deal on some super flex control arms. However the super flex, our whatever they are called, joints needs to be rebuilt badly. My question is, could I remove these and put rubber or poly bushings in these ends? I would rather have these rubber joints due to this being a daily driver

I got my answer. To anyone else researching this topic, this is the answer directly from Rubicon Express
Yes, you can push a bushing in but once you do this there is no going back
and putting a superflex joint in them because the threads will be destroyed.
The part numbers for a retrofit kit are:
RE3762 - Retro fit kit for small bushings (upper control arms) $20
RE3763 - Retro fit kit for large bushings (lower control arms) $25
You can rebuild the superflex joints with new races for $10 each. I would
keep the superflex joint if you plan on doing any off roading in the future
because they will help you to articulate. They are not bad or dangerous to
use on a daily driver. They only require greasing them once a year and
then tightening them every couple of years.
RE3797 - a pair of races for lower, large control arms
RE3798 - a pair of races for upper, small control arms
If you decide to rebuild the superflex joint we do offer a tool to make it
easier.
RE3771 - small control arm tool for the upper control arm $20
RE3772 - large control arm tool for the lower control arm $25
