First time builder

Is it a rubber/poly bushing? If so, it may be the same size as the stock ones which I have a couple you can have. I used them in my Rubicon Express adjustable arms. The whole sleeve and bushings just pressed right in them. I also have some brand new Rubicon Express ones in the for sale section that may work for ya.

Thanx, I'll check on that tomorrow night and let ya know.

Finally got back to work on the Jeep tonight. Here's the joint that's messed up. The ID is about 1.625". The rubber is pretty worn. They are not very old so they must be low quality. I want to fix it cheap but I want it to hold up too, don't know how long before I can rework it.

Those would appear to be re-buildable. Someone on here should be able to tell you who makes those arms if you take a pic of the whole arm. I have never seen rubber in a joint like that. If you can figure out who manufactures them, the rebuild kit should be cheap and easy. JKS maybe?

Maybe they are Tomken but the adjustables.

What about changing the whole rod end?

Yea you could measure shank and thread and try to find a matching size. It looks awfully skinny. Are you running it backed out that far? You should have at least an inch of thread still available to be safe.

Here are some similar from Rusty's that may have same shank size.

Those look to be Currie joints, are they 2" wide or 2.5 wide?

They are around $40 each for the whole new joints, so you could just buy two, or buy a rebuild kit for those joints.

If yours are 2" I have two of them here at the house new in the boxes.

Doesn't that look like a Johnny joint?

I posted another pic before I read your post. But I looked at the Currie site and they look the same as the 2.5"

that last picture you posted, do they measure 2.5 wide? you should be able to just buy the rebuild kit for them.

I remeasured them. I was way off, don't know we're I got 2.5. My caliper measures them at 1.625. That sounds like an odd size. I think I'm just going replace the whole control arm.

check around for those.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

from doing some research, I'm pretty sure those are 2" currie johnny joints.

I have two brand new ones if you decide to just replace them.

Whats the shank size????

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Whats the shank size????

the ones I have are 3/4" shank, I was going to use them for my trackbar, but they are too wide.

 

[VOLT]

No, I was asking him to determine if he could just replace that end and re use the tube and poly end. The shank looks crazy long though in the pics.

Those could be teraflex units too, as their joints resemble JJs: http://www.teraflex.biz/short-arm-modular-rear-upper.html

The thing that throws me off on those arms is the tabs for the e brake cables, and the stupid amount of shank on the joints (which is obviously not 1 1/4).
