Control arm swap
So I did the WJ control arm swap today. Mine were shot plus I've read tons of info on it, it seemed to be a great improvement and it was!
Not gonna lie I have a shop and power tools and it was a pain!!! Don't know if the arms I got were bigger than factory or what but all in all definitely a great improvement!!!

Saved this a while for my bucket list. Maybe some more help for someone along with what Nissantech posted.

Yeah centered it pretty well! I have a 3 inch lift btw. The WJ arms have a bigger bushing called a NVH bushing that cuts down on vibes and so forth. Plus they are completely tubed instead of the u tubing on the stock xj arms.
The wj arms or a small upgrade over stock.The wj ones are fully boxed but still steel metal,While the xjs stock ones are sheet metal and U shape which will flex under a load where the wjs might flex a tiny tiny bit but nothing like the xjs,They are a better oem replacement but are not as good as a aftermarket one tho.
