Rubicon Express replacement parts???
well i was about to post a thread about finding parts such as bushings and bearings for my control arms and escpecially my track bar bushing for rubicon express 4.5"...since they were "pending reorganization" i was going to ask about where there are to buy replacement parts, but i think they will be a while before they will be reopened, the website says August 1, 2011, and i need parts now...so is there any dealer or parts that i can use for these?

There are a couple vendors on here that offer custom made bushings. Parts Mike can also offer replacement bushings. I came into the same problem, needed bushings for my rear RE leaf springs. Try emailing this guy: sales@barnes4wd.com

DPG offroad is offering hybrid kits, makes me think they have back stock or sourced from RE direct due to their current issues.

I just picked up a 4.5" RE kit from a guy and needed to replace the trackbar bushing as well. Here was my solution. Go to the link below..find part number# 9.9483. Then you need to alter both pieces a bit. The length on both needs to be cut down (hacksaw). THen the flange side of the bushings also need to be taken down from .250 to .1" (bench grinder). And there you go...new bushing. It took me all but 30 minutes

not to advertise in the wrong place, i dont work there or anything, but they are very nice and helpful...and own jeeps/trucks/buggys/whatever (not to mention the drag cars and show cars) that are lifted higher and built stronger than i've ever seen and know how to fix anything to do with the axles (including gears,shorten/lengthen, upgrades, anything) and they make custom driveshafts of any length out of anything (saw a carbon fiber one that was splintered...AWESOME) for a pretty good price...but anyway, they got me exactly what i needed and we had it on and ready to go....
buttttt anyway...i still need to replace all my bushings and such for my control arms
