you know, you don't have to say anything on auszookers, but anything you say, can and will be used as evidence on google in their search engines :wink:

=====

All my stock control arm bushes are flogged out and I want some new joints and would love these creeper joints, but they are $84 each which is getting up there because i want atleast 4 to start with. possibly 8. ( they were $65 before the dollar went crap. I knew i should have bought them before)

So just wondering if hiem joints are cheeper? I'm having trouble finding them on the net.

$127 for 8 and then you just weld up some control arms from 1 1/4 tube that has been strengthened and keep your old arms as spares ;_0

they look like the shit ones to me, I'll find out what ours are worth and you can decide if you want to have a go at em

factor big money for something to cut the thread into the arms too

/bright idea

ive always thought about getting the bits that make up a johnny joint cast in urethane :wink: I reckon if somebody can machine the bits from steel for one to fit in 40nb or something then knock a few out that can be clamped together with the mounting bolt it would work better than urethane and cheaper than heims

that last one is for budget ones that come with weld in threads ( like a super nutsert) for the steel tmake your own new arms. rated at 18000 pounds ( 9000kgs)

The dearer ones are chrome moly higher quality ones.
