Default Rough Country X-Flex Control Arm Joint Rebuild with MetalCloak

Folks

I see hints here and there that someone has already done this, I'm hoping somone has some information.

My RC X-Flex Control Arms are needing the joints rebuilt. The kits are cheap enough, but I'm intrigued about using the MetalCloak Duraflex Joints in them instead.

Has anyone done this? Or, does anyone have handy the joint measurements or part numbers so I'd know which parts to buy?

No, I don't expect them to perform like MC Arms, but I can't really justify replacing all 8 of them right now.

Sorry I don't remember the part number but if you call synergy tell them you need the part number for the front lower control arm bushings
