My buddy was going to give me a set of Rough Country Lower control arms, but said the bushings are shot or missing. I called RC and they said they make them but is there better options that don't cost as much as the dang arms themselves?

Just get the bushing theyre probably talking about the flex joints

I called Rough Country and they said I had to buy new arms. That seems really weird to throw away good LCA bc of bad bushings. Anyone know where I can get some that fit? thanks

There wont be anything wrong with the control arms, it's just that RC don't stock or supply the old flex joints. The newer kits are supplied with the X-Flex joint, which has a different thread pitch on the joint shaft.

All you need to do is determine what the thread pitch is on your LCA's and then buy a set of Currie, or Ballistic Flex Joints....... Easy as...

I went through this on my ZJ. nobody makes a bushing that size, you can get some energy suspension poly bushings and turn them down until they fit in the LCA.
