About 2000 miles ago I replaced my lower controls arms because my jeep was shifting when i pressed on or let off of the accelerator, it remedied the problem seeing as the diagnosis was the bushings but easier to replace the whole arm than just the bushing. My problem is it is doing it again. I was cheap and spent the least amount possible on carparts.com i got the whole arm for 23 dollars which seemed like a great deal until it started doing it again my worry is it possible there is larger concern here that could have caused it or is it my own dumba$$ fault for buying the cheapest part.


Thank you for any input

Is the issue the LCA's or the bushings? I would go with MOOG K7389's if bushings.

I would grab those Moog bushings for sure, I have never had luck with taking the cheaper options lol, I went with Moog for sway bar bushings and love them!

You are talking about the REAR lower control arms, correct? Besides buying quality replacement arms I'd also suggest you look at the upper control arm also. Given the age of your Jeep there's a good chance of plain ole dry rot on bushings and the upper ball joint so all of it needs replaced.
