    If anybody is even considering replacing balljoints and/or upgrading to ES bushings, save the time and definately go with these.

    Killer price for what you are getting. Just the fact that you do not have to Chisel/Drill/Curse rivets out is worth the price IMHO.

    Thanks Frig, Jim helped too



    Im sure alot of R/T owner's are looking to replace upper control arm bushing's soon they all fail sooner then later. That said If any one wanted just upper's I can do a set, but Im going to need a deposit before I start.

    PM me and we can disscuss,Price, options, PC color choice's and parts used.

    I just went through the front end of my 99 cc and we had a bit of a time aligning it. Both of the pivot shafts on my truck are straight and I see one of those uppers has an offset shaft. Which side does that go on and did they change from 99 to 2000, or does my truck have a wrong part on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Btw, I have a set of airbagit 3" drop tubular upper control arms I can't use if anyone is looking for some.
    Thanks, tom

    Do you happen to know why they did that, and would changing mine to that style help me solve my alignment issues? I really appreciate your help.

    Other than my brakes and 4.56s i would say upgrading the front end to ALL ES bushings and ALL moog components (tie rods, ball joints, etc) was one of the MOST noticeable improvements to driving my truck. This a good price for bolt on stuff, i did all this (except burning out my old bushings/installing ES) and it was a PITA.

    No Doubt, bushing removal was a PITA

    As for price the part's and PC are over $400 not including Arm's and my time

    Getting alot of PM Question's about these.

    Core's...I didnt go into core's cause shipping your's to me may be to costly. But we can disscuss if thats what you wanna do.

    Option's in finish... I recommend Powder coat the finish is better the OEM. I can also do differant color's contact me for option's. And if you wanna save $ I will rattle can a "cleaned" set. Or save $100 I won't do anything but replace part's.

    Supply Parts Say you already bought the parts and now saw this add and wanna "swap out" we can do that as well PM me with what you have and I will adjust price or use your parts in a build.

    Any other question's let me know I have a set of upper's I will be doing next.

    i wish this was up when my bushing was completely gone
    everything was going semi good until the ball joints
    i tore up a big section of my drive way
    and just about killed me swinging the hammer trying to get those damn ball joints out
    i think every curse word in the dictionary came out of my month
    in the end it all came together and drives like a champ
    next lowering my truck

    I have a 98 that has been lowered up front. It appears that they just cut the springs. But I don't really have a way of telling. Will it matter?

    No it shouldnt matter , Are you riding on the bumpstops now? The arms I have will need a set of smaller bumpstop's that can be had from energy suspension.

    I'll have to take a better look. The driver side front fender rubs the tire before I hit the bumpstops. I just really haven't had a chance to take a good look at the front end yet. Thanks for the quick reply!
