    Time for me to buy suspension joints.

    Gonna ditch my clunky bushings and go with joints on my control arms.

    I've been searching around and I think I'm gonna get regular rubber bushings for the axle end and Johnny Joints for the frame end.

    Where can I buy good quality rubber bushings? My Rusty's LCA ones have gone bad twice in two months and I need ones for my leaf springs as well since the Rough Country ones just went bad after about a year. I don't want to have to continue replacing these and it is really annoying to drive around when every single bushing on the whole jeep clicks.

    How are Johnny Joints? My main concern is longevity, I don't want something I'm going to have to rebuild every couple months. Basically I want whatever lasts the longest and doesn't suck in every other way.

    I'm not sure what to actually order though, on their website they have all these sizes and some of them come on a threaded rod to use with adjustable arms. I currently have Rusty's fixed lowers (which take stock sized bushings) and stock uppers. What sizes am I going to want?

      I guess I solved my problem. You cant buy just press in joints. I think i'm gonna just stick to good rubber bushings.

        JKS makes good quality rubber bushings. They are very strong and last long time. I may know a suspension manufacturer that uses them.
        No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.
