Pictures as promised....

 

Your control arms are on backwards

Gold ball to the axle on lowers, gold ball to the frame on uppers, unless Rusty's does theirs different.

 

A couple of quick reviews about the products and my experiences with them:

1. Teraflex quick disco's. This had to be one of the easiest installs of any of the products that I have ever installed on a Jeep. I think that it is a beautifully designed product that functions as you would expect. It's easy and it works... What else could you ask for?! I would highly recommend one if you don't have a quick disconnect or even if you already have one and need one that actually works the way you want.

2. Rusty's front lower adj. control arms. The installation was a little complicated, nothing too hard but for those without any experience, it's best that you hold off the "do it yourself". There are small issues like lengthening the arms to the identicle legths. Lengthining them differently can be easily done wrong and can cause big problems that are hard to find. As for the product, the Rusty's arms are beefy as heck and built better than most similar arms. Anonther high recommendation .

3. Teraflex 1"spacers. The installation was a bit of a knuckle grinder but once the springs are out they pop right on in very easily. It's getting the springs out and back in that is the major portion of this project. If you know how to get your springs out without killing yourself it's a simple project. Teraflex makes a great product as usual .

4. Rough Country dual steering stabilizers. The installation was pretty easy. The trick was to tighten things just enough to be a tad loose in order to center and line things up. As for lining things up have a measuring tape along with you to keep everything nice and centered. There is one thing that I have to mention about the product. The metal that is supplied with the Rough Country started to bend when tightened. This is the first product that I've installed on my Jeeps where that happened. It's my opinion that they could and should supply a better metal bracket. I tightened all the u-bolts very tightly as recommended and that is what happened. Basically I tightened everything to the point of JUST starting to bend and I'm happy with it that way .

If you remember I had a problem with front end wobble. I bought the arms, the stabilizer, and adjusted the toe in order to stop it. Adjusting the arms did very little if anything at all for it and they now rest where both Teraflex and the forum recommend. The toe adjustment had an immediate effect on the wobble both positively and negatively depending on your adjustment bud never knocked it out completely and the steering was still loose-ish. One thing that I was very surprised with was how the dual stabilizers all but completely knocked out any wobble or wiggle whatsoever. The reason I am surprised is that I somehow got the impression that they don't do much. I am VERY impressed with what the dual set-up did for the driving caracteristics and I would highly recommend one for those who are out there that feel they are in need of a more controlled feel to their steering .

 

Are you sure???

Here's what I went off of.... (Not only that, I matched the bend in the steal with the factory bends.)

 

Teraflex told me gold ball to axle for lowers, that's what TF's instructions show and what WOL did with his also, the TF only has one pivot. Yours look different than that picture tho, the picture has a pivot on both ends, whereas yours has just the pivot on the gold ball. As far as the bends, if you switch the sides and flip them opposite, the bends will be in the same as factory.

 

The only part of this discussion I have to disagree with is the discussion about the bends in the arms. The factory bends are closest to the axle and further from the frame. The bends are not dead center so flipping the arms would reveal a bend that is further from the axle and closer to the frame. If you look at the picture below you can see that the Rusty's arms have a bend in a similar area as the stock arms.

If you notice also the angle on the arms that I installed line-up beautifully. I certainly am open to the fact that I may very well be wrong but I just wanted to point out the reason for my decission.
