Default Control Arms... Which direction?

Ok, so i've been doing some research and i'm really wondering what direction to go in. I am in the market for some new front control arms and I have been looking at the TeraFlex CA's. But are they really THAT much better than these ones... Jeep X-Flex Adjustable Control Arms

that they would be more than twice as much money? I've heard good things out of these Rough Country arms but could the TF arms be that much better? what makes these that much more expensive?

Yes they are that much better. Plus the customer service you get with teraflex is worth the extra money.

TF is great, CS is great. Their arms are beefy as hell.

I could be wrong, wouldn't be first time, but your arms look like they are on backwards. No?

Thought the stock bushing goes on the axle side and flex joint on the frame side. Maybe TF is different.

Depends on the brand arm. The sticker would be upside down or backwards and I believe they come like that.
I don't think they would work flipped do to the angle the arm/joints are at.

Now that I think about it. I would think there would be less bind with the joint at the frame. Obviously at both haha

They are on correct though. I am doing a full mid arm soon. I just learned Synergy uses JJ's and the double adjuster.

MC's joints work in JJ housings. Something to keep in mind. Talking to MC TF joints as well. Not a perfect fit but they do work.
If somebody were to buy a set of used arms this is a option.
