Default control arm interchange.

From what I can see the control arms interchange on 84-01Xj and 93-98ZJ.. Is that right??

yup, they're the same. however, zj has a cam bolt for adjustment, whereas the xj has a shim and adjuster bolts on the back of the mount.

but if you go with wj arms, they're boxed and bent in for tire clearance....

why can I never get lucky like that. I have a bent control arm and need to figure out if to change it for the same or buy after market pair, or get real silly and spend it on after market adjustables. this recession thing is really annoying as last year I would not have even thought twice.
