Default Front axle control arm bushings

I was wondering what people run in the axle side upper control arm bushings?? Does someone make an end like on the front lower Teraflex arms that can be pressed into there or do u have to run rubber ones like the factory installs?? I think mine are cracking and I am planning my fix. Thanks for input!

your front axle comes with bonded rubber bushings pressed into the upper control arm mounts. replacing them with new rubber ones is probably your best bet. you can get a set of currie joints to replace them but, that does require some welding. i'm running a set now on my pro rock 60 but, it can be done on a 44 as well.

no problem and yeah, having one isn't such a bad idea as you can use in for a lot of different things.
