Default Jk control arms on xj
From what I've read the rear uca from a jk was supposed to be a bolt on deal for a lca, but I ran into a problem. The control arm is about a half inch too narrow. Has anyone else ran into this problem?*

I had the same problem. As noted above, I just shimmed with some large washers. I did grease them up before I put them in there.

Thanks for the help guys. I was thinking washers but wasn't sure if there was a better fix.
