K3128 Suspension Control Arm Bushing Kit for Jeep Wrangler

fit perfect, 96 XJ

I bought this in the hope that it would fit on the axel bracket for the upper control arm of my 2001 Grand Cherokee two wheel drive WJ. Based on the reviews posted by others they had the same idea and found that the center hole of the bushing was a little big, same here. What I did was purchase 2 each 7/16" grade 8 bolts (the same length as original) and 2 each metal locking nuts (not the Nylon type). Remember GRADE 8, I bought mine from the specialty bolts ben at Lowes. I used a 29/64" drill bit and enlarged the two holes in the forward end of the upper control arm. EaZy PeaZy (translated really simple to do). How about that cheap and simple.

They work and fit properly. If this is your first time replacing these bushings on a Jeep TJ be sure to get a bushing press tool especially for the passenger side.

Quality as always

Fit my 1988 XJ just fine, rent a ball joint remover to press out the old and in the new on driver's side, no complaints on the product, I am not impressed with the stock control arms, this winter I think I will fab my own upper control arms

Came on time, was a good fit, easy to install and was a good price.

Takes some time to install. Drilled out the old rubber bushing and used a cordless saw to cut a slit in the sleeve. Then I used a chisel to push the sleeve out. Install was much easier. The new bushing was in the freezer for a while since I was using a propane torch to heat and expand the housing on the axle. Don't overheat! I also used a wire brush on a drill to clean the housing. I just tapped in the new bushing. There was no issue with the bolts. NOTE. Do ONE side at a time. Tighten fully when vehicle is lowered to avoid pre load.

Replaced the old ones and works great
