I have a Teraflex lift (2.5"coils w/ 1" spacers), Bilstein shocks. Recently I've been getting some squeaking and narrowed it down to control arm bushings. I'm going to start replacing arms and would like recommendations. Mild wheeler here, but hoping to get in to it more once my kids get older so I want to do it right. I was going to go with TF but so far I've had a bad experience with their components. What other ones do you recommend and why? Going to replace front lowers then uppers first.

 

Synergy or metalcloak is what I'm looking into. Synergy you can adjust without removing the control arm bolt. Metalcloak have dura flex joints both ends for more articulation. Expensive but you get what you pay for!

I was recently faced with the same decision. Parts & labor to replace my LCA bushings ... or order a new set of LCAs. It was $380 in labor + $80 in parts to replace the clevite bushings, so I decided to purchase some Evo LCAs. The johnny joints can be serviced for $40, and are more durable than the rubber clevite bushings. Also, they can be adjusted while still on the Jeep.

 

I have the Metal cloaks. They have been awesome since day one. Have right at 10k on them and the bushing still look brand new. Not to mention they flex great also.

 

Metal Cloak is the way to go. Well worth the bucks.

 

I'm totally saving up for MetalCloak's!

 

The metal cloak control arms are the best decision I've ever made. The joint design they came up with is ingenious, and I've had zero problems.

 

Thanks everyone. Although MC was the consensus not being readily available nor proven I went with Teraflex. Install done will give drive update tomorrow.

 

I totally agree the Metal Cloak control arms are the way to go







Nice ride and articulation up the wahzoo

 

So the metalcloaks are not adjustable without removing the bolt?
