Stick with a name brand then you won't run the chance of throwing your money away.

I will say these are high quality! I have some RE control arms and my girl bought the core 4x4.. IMHO I wish I would've bought the core 4x4. Very beefy construction

XJBARTZ90

thanks man for the input man

XJBARTZ90

yeah I get what your saying but if I can just a little cash and still get a great product, I have more money for more jeep parts!

Jeep Driver

Those are JUNK! and look dangerous.


Spend a few bucks and get something substantial.

JPXJMOAB

hate to tell you but core 4x4 are a great control arm, I have used them and they take a beating and are very heavy duty.

Jeep Driver

Really??????

That's a ****ing bolt welded to the bushing sleeve, that is ****!

JPXJMOAB

lol I'm going to be selling my Rubicon Express UCA for the core 4x4 because they're way more beefy.. You think you know everything, but if you're only going to state opinions and have nothing to back it you may as well not talk because I have first hand experience with these and they're better than RE.

Jeep Driver

There is a ****load of stupid on this board.

JPXJMOAB

Yeah, you.

Welding to a bolt like that kills the forging on the bolt making it the weakest link in that control arm.With the bolt being in a high stress area of the control arm its going to break off in time.He is right no way id ever run anything made like that.

As long as you know you'll end up buying those arms twice when those fail.

Get good ones from the get go. Not this E-bay crap. Rough Country would be a better alternative.

You're jumping over dollars to pick up pennies.

Those really are some junk arms and in so many ways, I just hated to say so. Personally I run the Rustys HD Adj. U/LCA's (poly/rubber combo) they were not all that much <$400 for all 4.


I hate replacing things over and over, costs to much in the long run besides what else might be torn up. This was another one of those costs involved when I lifted mine to 4 1/2" from 3".
