I have a 2012 2dr JK Rubicon. It has an unknown 4" ish lift, possibly Teraflex, Steinjager lower control arms and unknown upper control arms. Teraflex draglink, tie rod and front track bar.

All of the ball joints and rubber bushings are shot. I am the 5th owner so I don't know exactly what the previous owners did. I have the parts ordered for the ball joints and Steinjagers, the mystery rear upper control arm has me scratching my head. I cannot find any stamps, labels or anything indicating what make they are.

I suppose I need to take one off and measure for bushings.

Another option would be to buy some new adjustable upper control arms. They are not that expensive, and then everything is brand new and you know exactly what to buy next when you need to replace or refresh the bushings.

The time saved, might be worth the money

I have done a lot of lifts and cannot recall seeing that type of control arm. you might ne able to source bushings but I agree with elff that a new set of control arms might be the best bet.

I took one off today to look at the bushings, not only are they wore out dangerously but the previous owner had the shimmed up with big washers. I just ordered new adjustable arms.
What kind?
