    Default Restored some Teraflex control arms

    I bought a full set of 8 Teraflex adjustable arms from a member here about a month ago and just finally finished up the project. It seems like I ran into problem after problem getting them done, but the finished product was worth it.

    The arms were in a little rougher shape than I though, so I had my work cut out for me. I was hoping to just clean them up and maybe spray paint, but that was out of the question. Below is what I did to them.

    1) Disassembled, cleaned and degreased all parts
    2) Chemical stripped paint
    3) Sandblasted
    4) New powder coating
    5) New rubber clevite ends
    6) Took apart and cleaned/lubed all flex ends (didn't buy full rebuild kits due to cost)
    7) New style snap rings
    8) A few new zerk fittings drilled/tapped
    9) New stickers thanks to Doug at Teraflex

    All in all I think I spent around $800 on these including the rebuild tools from Teraflex, so I think I made out pretty well considering it was for a full set of adj. arms. I'll let the picture speak for itself.

    Ehh..... I don't want them to be an actual color since my JK is all black, and grey or something lighter doesn't really float my boat. I hear what you're saying, but I like the black.

    Great job! It's always nice to do something yourself and have it turn out nice.
