Rubicon express control arms
« on: April 24, 2012, 10:55:05 AM »

wheres the best (cheapest/easy) place to get rebuild kits for the large superflex joints on lower control arms??

Also might as well get the tool for it at the same time.


Unless anyone has any for sale they no longer need :greggmo:

I called Steve @ FTE a little while ago about kits to rebuild my Superflex joints and to be honest they were quite pricey! Worked out about £100 just to rebuild the rear uppers alone!
I may well buy a new set from the states (Not sure on make yet) and then sell the RE jobbies to get some £'s back!

Managed to speak to Steve at FTE who said that RE were up and running again - just not good at delivery price at the minute.

and that he would phone m back yesterday with some prices - but no calls as yet.....

Are the races definitely shagged? A full clean and grease usually did it for mine. I got the tool from Steve at FTE.
