They are here already!



At first glance I would say they look great!
The welds look solid, the bushings look nice, the threads are cut nicely, and they are solid steel, about 1" thick where the threads are.
I so far would recommend them!

Poly bushings? The dont appear to be rubber although they look to be about oem size.

I should have read the hole thread sorry I got my answer. I'm going to get the same set up but with rubber bushings.

Yeah you can get rubber. On there site they list it as a $40 option which seemed a bit much for me, although I'm young and my XJ isn't my DD so I don't care if it makes it a little stiffer.

I see that the construction of them is different than what they show on e-bay. It looks like the ones you got use a bolt welded to a bushing sleeve. The ones on e-bay look like its more like a manufactured joint.

I do have to say that the welds do look good and look like they will work pretty damn good.

So how have they worked for you? I just ordered a set for the front of my 2001.This will take care of the death wobble right?My cherokee has 174K on it.All the front end components look good so i figured it must be controll arms.

If you were going to buy from ARC FAB I would hold off !,I thought he was on the up and up and rolling smothly since his move(evidently not). I just bought a front upper and lower set almost 2 weeks ago on egay,Then i went to check on my order the other night to see if it shipped yet.Well i see the listing is gone from my purchased items and i got a message from ebay saying they had to remove the seller for some reason or another and delet his items.My death wobble is getting worse so i just bought a set from rusty's,I will deal with arc fab later right now i need this thing fixed.

Did you ever get your issue resolved??

I finally got around to installing mine a few weeks ago, they fit good, although I had some issues deciding what length I wanted, and I think I went a little too long.. But they are nice, they have a little squeak, but I think its slowly getting better.
