Why did you quote me?
I did not say teraflex had double adjusters. I just said their joints suck. I would never recommend anyone buying a teraflex product for my own personal reasons.

Teraflex's lower (larger) flex joints are fine, the issue is their small upper flex joints. They are too small for the loads they're expected to handle, and the front upper frame end joints get the added issue of heat deterioration due to proximity to exhaust components. However, TF's clevite joints are as good as any. Recently they've released Sport & Alpine labeled suspension arms that use clevites on both ends of the upper & lower arms. Frankly, the majority of users don't need Johnny Joint-type ends and like Metal Cloak & Synergy, there's a trend away from them. At present I'm testing TF's upper frame side clevites on my long arm. I just came back from Moab
And after several days on the trail I didn't notice any deterioration in performance. Time will tell on durability .

Do not order from Morris 4x4!!!
I ordered a set of front and rear lowers and uppers, and they sent me two sets of front lowers and not a set of rear lowers. Needless to say my jeep is up on axle stands while I figure out a way to fix Morris 4x4's issue. They said they will not pay for the return shipping on a part that they messed up on... Great customer service ...NOT

I appreciate all the feedback... I do understand a little more about the arms now.. I went with the synergy arms and as usual, I did deal with Northridge!! It's more about a want rather than a need... I really just hate seeing those old banged up stock arms with the new lift...

When tightening the jam nut on lower control arms we typically recommend doing this in a bench top vice. Makes centering the ball very simple.

Our new kits come with double adjustable uppers for easier and fine adjustment of caster on the front. This can be done in car to ease the alignment process. http://www.rockkrawler.com/ProductDe...ctCode=RK04098 When tightening the jam nut on lower control arms we typically recommend doing this in a bench top vice.
