Are the Full Traction adjustable (aka "Ultimate") control arms and trackbars the toughest ones out there?

Just making sure before placing my order... :-)

Thanks,

I would say the Teraflex ones are the toughest. They are the ones I will be going with.

 

Probably Rubicon Express or Rock Crawler are the strongest.

 

Based on what criteria?

The Teraflex ones have grease zirks in them already. The full traction ones look beefy enough, the RE ones look the same....

I think this is going to be very subjective.

 

I would bet a lot of what little money I have that what breaks/beds brand x will break/bend brand y (everything listed thus far).

 

I completely agree - based on what?

 

Well, I was hoping someone in the industry, that's handled a few makes, would step up with some opinions. The manufacturers don't include much info on their components, like thickness and type of steel, corrosion treatments, etc. I'm mostly interested in resistance to salt water (winter) and bending/breaking. I guess there isn't much difference between Full Traction, Teraflex, etc...

Thanks!

Well, that makes more sense & is a good question.
I have the teraflex ones (at home in box, not installed yet) I opted for them because... welll... i dunno why for sure. I liked the greasability (not that the others couldnt be, or grease points added easily enough) Other than that, i dont have a good answer, so i am interested in this question. Expanding slightly on your statement, a few that'd be nice to know...

Wall thickness?
Gusseting?
Greasability?
Corrosion Treatment?
Can the end links be easily rebuilt?
Are rebuild bushings etc. readily available?
Do they come with cool stickers to add 0.72 HP?

 

It would be nice to have project JK do a informative "control arm" write up with all the mfg's control arms.

As of right now my vote is Full-traction. 2" .250 wall tubing and the FK heims they use are the highest quality. We have been running them on our TJ for 4 years without one single problem.

The Tera trac bar, was not the toughest one. 2 week old, the snap ring (locking) come off already. I hope they make a next generation one.

The one i talk about, is from first month of production.
