Rusty’s Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms w/Forged Flex Ends – High Clearance | JK Wrangler

The Rusty’s Forged Flex Ends were designed and manufactured with quality, reliability, and strength as our first priority.

The Forged Flex Ends feature 1.25″ x 12 threads, locking jam nuts, our proprietary compound bearing races, and a chromed spherical bearing. These outer casing of the forged ends offers over 100,000 psi of strength. No wimpy snap rings here, Rusty’s was the first to design and manufacture an end without snap rings; we use only threaded adjustable retainers that are CNC machined for a perfect fit. The adjustable spanner nut allows you to dial in the perfect amount of pre-load. To adjust the pre-load, simply tighten the spanner nut to the desired pressure, line up the groove in the preload nut with the set screw, and then tighten the set screw.

Rusty’s proprietary compound bearing races provide high strength and a superior fit while being much more durable than other poly style races. The plated Chrome Moly (short for Chromium Molybdenum) spherical bearing offers long life, high strength, and adds to the end assembly’s great flex. All rod ends come with grease fittings. Be sure to grease the joints regularly for a lifetime of quiet, reliable service.

Since all moving parts wear, Rusty’s offers inexpensive rebuild kits for all the moving parts of the joint.

About Rusty’s Off-Road

Rusty’s Off-Road is a leader in the 4X4 industry with our innovative line of Jeep specific products. Our in-house manufacturing and R & D keeps our products on the cutting edge. With our in house manufacturing we are able to control cost and sell retail at wholesale cost without sacrificing quality.

We have over 45 years of hands on experience in the off-road vehicle industry giving us the knowledge that few of our competitors have. Rusty’s has grown from a small business serving a regional market to a worldwide company. We have grown from a small 2 bay shop to an ever growing 65,000 square foot building. Yes, we too started off with torches and big hammers but today it’s high-tech measuring devises, precision machining centers, lasers, robots and a group of very dedicated employees to produce what we think are the very best in off road products.

We proudly back our products as ‘Trail Tested Tough.’ Each of our parts go through extensive prototype testing on the trails, allowing us to improve and strengthen our designs so we release only the highest quality products. Moab, Rubicon, Tellico, Wind Rock, and Jeep Jamboree events around the country have been regular stomping grounds for the Rusty’s Off Road Testing Crew over the years. Many parts have been run and tested in some of the most grueling off road races and rallies and with this abuse and testing you can be assured you will be getting the very best part built.

AROUND RUSTY’S OFF-ROAD

Growing from that 2 bay shop to this over 65,000 you think there is no way we will run out of room, well just as soon as we finished our latest construction, we quickly found out how quickly they will fill up. We have worked hard to keep things organized and invested hours in setting up the shipping dept to get parts shipped as fast as we can.
