I recently bought a 2012 Rubicon that has a 4" Rough Country x-series lift. The PO said that he has replaced the bushings numerous times and they are in need of it again. I would like to go with something other than the rubber Clevite that RC sells - maybe a polyurethane bushing will last a bit longer. Does anyone know the size bushings that I would need to order? Thanks

 

One has to ask why the bushings are wearing out so quick. Most people I have known to change bushings only did it once in their life with the vehicle. Something wrong with the geometry I would think if yours are going so quickly. Stay away from poly bushings, they don't last in a 4WD and they squeak like crazy. Can't answer the other half of the question as to what kind of material to use.

 

Gosh, I just feel so much frustration in your future.....not to be a real downer. Those stupid RC lifts. . I'd agree, most people might be in the ballpark to change control arm bushings once in their entire ownership. If those have been changed several times and need it again, it's a red flag. I also agree on the poly bushings....they're crap. I'm not sure what might fit in those CAs as an alternative to be honest. Get ready for some RC bashing in general. I wish I had some more constructive advice for you.

 

Just thinking after Resharp's post. Have you had the Jeep into a reputable shop and got all alignment measurements including cross measurements from RR to LF and LR to RF wheels. Might tell a story. Were the arms installed with correct orientation? Send pictures and experienced guys will look and comment.
