Replacing upper and lower control arms on a '96 XJ

[bradleyheathhays]

I'm about to replace both the upper and lower front control arms on my XJ and was wondering if there was any advice before I got started. Far as I can tell I just need to take a couple days spraying some PB on the bolts before I do the job and then just yank em out and put the new ones in.

Any advice maybe?

I love the tutorials - A picture = 1000 words

Yeah man the utube tuts have taught me at least half of what I know!

someone was suggesting I go with adjustable arms. Is there an advantage to the adjustables if I'm just going for a stock OE replacement?

My rig is all stock btw.

adjustable for lifted, BIG tire serious mods.

Otherwise KISS - maybe harder bushings but stock.

Consider changing the axel side bushing on the front. It is a pain but does make a huge improvement when you change everything else.
