I'm trying to figure out the manufacturer of the control arms and the sway bar quick disconnects. Anyone got any input? Grimace; The purple haze.-image-1587198953.jpg

So I can look for replacement parts...

The bushings on the control arms aren't very good.

The Heims on the discos are completely shot. The ***** in it have way too much play.

I probably would have to machine new axle pins out of stainless steel. The old aluminum ones are so corroded and breaking apart.

Well I emailed IRO and they confirmed that the control arms are theirs. And they told me that they use OEM style replacement bushings. With that information, I went and checked RockAuto and got an estimate for 6 replacement bushings for about $35 shipped. Not bad at all. If I bought them from IRO instead, it would come to about $73 shipped.

Would anybody be interested in buying my Teraflex lower control arms? It got brand new bushings but got some black/purple paint on it. I ll be listing it for $150 later tonight. Anybody who see this before I list it can buy it for $130 shipped. LOL.
