How To: WJ/KJ A-Arm Flex Joint Assembly

- Are your rubber bushings worn out giving you that loose, "tail wag" feeling? Today's long travel suspension systems put immense rotational torque on the upper A-arm rubber bushings which inevitably leads to wear and tear. Traditional rubber bushings are great in those applications, but you need something that will hold up to the abuse you put your Jeep through. Upgrade to flex joints and forget about replacing worn rubber bushings for good!

Do you have any videos where you install the A Arm itself?
@scottg9908 Not yet, but we could add that to the list! Stay tuned to the channel, I'll see what we can do!
Wanna see too! 🎉😮@@IronRockOffRoad
Do you have a spec on how many degrees of angle change you get with each revolution of the adjustable part of the UCA? Been trying to get an answer from your website and havent gotten a response.
@scottg9908 That's a tricky question to answer. When setting your rear pinion angle, it is best to start with the Jeep at ride height, disconnect the UCA male end from the axle bracket, set the desired pinion angle, and adjust the male end until it lines up with the axle bracket. The male end is 12 threads per inch, so 12 full turns will change its length by one inch.
@@IronRockOffRoad So if I had to change my pitch by say 5 deg how many turns would that be?
@scottg9908 A good starting point might be around 6-8 full turns. Again, I would unbolt the male end from the bracket and set the axle at the angle you want, then adjust the male end to line back up with the bracket.
@@IronRockOffRoad So your saying eyeball it and hope for the best. You guys make a great product however your attention to detail needs serious work. But at least you responded to me. I'm still waiting for a response through your web site.
@@scottg9908 There are to many factors that play into that question. do you have a double cardan or slip yoke rear drive shaft? They use different pinion angles. Whats your lift height? that changes pinion angle and the amount of turns to change the pitch. Do you have a truss on your rear axle with the a arm plate bolted or welded to it? What are your lower control arms lengths? There are to many factors that play in to put that kind of answer into the instructions. It is very easy to figure out. Put the jeep rear axle on jack stands at ride height. put a jack under the pinion. depending on what rear drive shaft you have set the pinion angle. install the a arm at the chassis side. Spin the flex joint end till it lines up with the axle bracket.
Will these fit other aftermarket rear control arms for WJ?
@michaelmichels5168 It is possible that our joint will fit other aftermarket A-Arms for the WJ but we have not tested it.
I got one ☝️ on my KJ #thelibbyproject And I ❤ it! Now I need to install one ☝️ on my WJ. IRO 🤘
Thank you so much!
