RE superflex CA signs to rebuild?
Hi all.
I have the RE superflex lower CAs and Im currious what symptoms should i look for when the need to be rebuilt? I know its a very vague question with a few variables but can anyone sort of quantify how long they last, short life, long life.... how to check if they are shot?
Thanks for the help

Can you grab the arms and move the joints around while installed?
Do they "clunk" over bumps?
Does your Jeep wander like a stray cat?
Does the steering feel and drive like a special needs kid on a McDonalds playground playing with the toy wheel?
If so, you might want to try adjusting them a little first. If problem is still there after, rebuild.

They don't adjust and I think they seem OK. Can they clunk? Supposedly my steering box is worn too?
