Slowly working through to figure out what parts are on the 98 I bought back in January. First is control arms. At least one bushing is shot badly. Posted in the all lift and tire question section but decided to just try a separate thread. So the arms look very similar to rustys. Fixed short arms. Many if them look very similar but noticed the rustys have two holes in the axle end as mine do. All the lowers look nearly identical so they don't help. Anyway I would like to replace all control arm bushings when I remove them for painting. One is very loose. Not sure where to get bushings or for what arms.

Can take better ones when it's not 11pm.

Also anyone know if they would have a part number stamped somewhere or som other form of identification?

Btw PO didn't know jack about it. All he knew was PO before him built it as a trail rig. The guys truck died so he drove the jeep briefly and traded with the dude I got it from for a truck. Dude I got it from got it in fall, poorly spray bombed the heck out of it, overspray everywhere including lights and windows and anywhere else u could imagine. Got the hood stuck closed and tried to pry it open damaging fenders in the process. Drove it through the mud in his parents back yard a couple times covering everything in mud including the interior. Then realized he was in over his head and put it on craigslist. So now I'm cleaning it up and doing it how it should have been done. Just need to change out those bushings so I can get an alignment and DD it. Also noticed adjustable track bar on wrong. Read a post where someone else pointed out that someone had theirs on wrong. Didn't think mine was adjustable at first but then noticed adjustable end hidden by the mounting tabs on the axle.

I've got Rusty's fixed upper and lower control arms on my Jeep, and they do look very similar. There are a couple of other companies that make ones the look like that, like IRO's fixed short arms, and some knock off ones on ebay.

Do yours have any markings or anything stamped in them?

Those look like IRO arms, one of the few that has 2 mounting options at the axle side. Probably a stand bushing of sorts. if you can pull one, go to the part store and match it.

Guess I'll have to drop one to see. I didn't realize that some aftermarket arms apparently use stock spec bushings. Hopefully it's that easy.

Most manufacturers use stock bushing size unless it's a fancy joint like the RC adjustable UCAs I installed last night which have a Johnny Joint at the frame mount. Obviously, the bushings at the other end are in the axle and use a standard UCA bushing.

Nice. Ya was just under there and it looks like they use oem style. I just figured they would have poly bushings or something. Also just noticed my whole front axle rotates slightly when I lock up the brakes. The LCA axle mounts are moving a bunch.

Not the mounts. Lol the arms inside the mounts
