Im replacing uca bushings on my dana 30 axle and read that wj bushings are an upgrade to xj bushings. Is this true and if so does anyone have the correct part # ? Thanks

 

I believe the upper bushings are the same. The lower bushings are an upgrade.

Obviously, you have to replace the entire lower arm as the bushing is shaped totally different.

 

so the bushings that mount to the axle are not an upgrade so I need to get XJ part? I would like to do the Johnny joint conversion but don't have the money right now. what brand should I get Moog

 

Unless you plan to use the WJ arms too (Which work fine with a little modification.) then you can go with Moog XJ bushings.

I spent about 60 bucks the pair of lower WJ control arms and made the modifications. I noticed a pretty significant improvement in ride quality.

 

He is saying Upper bushings.

 

Thank you, Captain. I am aware that he was initially was referring to the upper bushings.

I was elaborating on the lower bushings since I don't have helpful information on the upper bushings.

I'd be more concerned with the condition of the lower bushings more so than the uppers.

For an upper bushing I'd just replace with an OEM style Moog bushing.

 

Anytime, Chief.

I was simply saying it because I didn't see an answer, and I was also curious.

 

I have Rustys fixed lower arms my hp swap axle needed upper bushings I'll check out all of them when I do the swap.i was replacing the swap axle bushings and thought i could use wjs. wonder what replacement bushings would work on rustys fixed lowers.maybee they dont need them. anybody know an upper control arm replacement on the cheap. I know this one was bent. maybe reinforcing it with some plate .idk

 

Am at 4.5 now and dont know what the hp is going to do to my caster/pinion angle.i would like upper and lowwer adjustable ca but im broke as a joke.
