Default which control arms?

Ok i've read lots of opinions, but want a few more. I'm thinking
teraflex,
currie
clayton
I read that either clayton or currie has a no questions asked replacement warranty, and I really like that. currie seems to be the cheapest at northridge, and money is definitely a concern, but what are your opinions? and anyone know what kind of warranty each comes with? thanks

Those are all great. You won't go wrong with either of those.

all are great choices and you can't really go wrong with any of them. if you are looking for maximum bind free flex, i would go with the curries. if you are looking for a set that have bonded rubber bushings at the frame, the TF or clayton's are what you will want.

My steering is nuts right now. Control arms and an adj trackbar are at the top of my buy list but can someone confirm for me.

I was told Adj Upper Control Arms fix steering problems. The lowers just center the axle in the wheel well which i want eventually too but steering stability is a major concern for me right now.

Some one confirm or deny that? and if possible give other ideas like which are best. I as looking at the TF.

yes, this is technically correct but a lot of aftermarket adjustable upper control arms cannot be shortend enough to give you the caster that you need. needless to say, this is the reason why so many people are installing adjustable lowers as they can be lengthend enough to give you the same results. so far as i know, the currie upper arms are the only one that i know of that can be shortend enough for sure.

I did front lowers and rear uppers with my Tera 3". In an ideal world I would have got all 4 adjustable, but this allows caster adjustment in the front and pinion adjustment in the rear. I will add the others as money permits.

thats my plan, although I'm starting with just front lowers...although part of me keeps thinking I should go to a 4-6 LA when money permits...
