I'm thinking about getting the JBA 4-link but I'm wondering should I get the bolt on or the weld on kit? Is one preferable to the other or are they about the same?

Tom do you put anything on the joints? I’ve had mine for a year now and the noise the last couple months has been ridiculous. All I do is keep the joints clean.

Loc-tite the nuts and keep them clean, every now and again a click from them but nothing else .
One set has at least 45000 miles on it

Yep I have loc-tite on them it’s just the joint itself that is very creaky. Wondering if maybe silicone spray would help? The people I wheel with are starting to call me old man (only 22) because of how much it creaks and makes noise. :happy175:

Sounds about right. The WJ's stock upper arm is longer and the balljoint falls right on the axle centerline.
