Upper control arm bushing?
I am looking for ideas for an upper control arm bushing/joint to fit the stock axle gear case ear on a TJ. I don't like the original rubber bushing because it looks like it will push out, the bolt is small, and the rubber won't twist enough for long travel. Another choice I found is Curries Johnny Joint. The 7/16 drilled attaching bolt seems too small for a single upper arm, or is it OK? The upper arm will be a custom long arm so almost any bushing or joint that fits the axle could be used.
Thanks for your ideas Bob W |

I used an RE spherical joint, but I have two arms (the way it should be)...

I used daystay JJ on axle end with 5/8" bolt and poly joint on frame end with 9/16 bolt
It works very good
