i know i did some searching on these control arms, and i found limited feedback generally. this is also a stangnet sponser under hotparts.com i believe. that is the website that lists j&m products. i purchased a set of the heavy duty weight jacker arms for my notch from a distributor.
i had another companies weight jackers on the car. granted, these were older, there is no comparison between the two. the bushing design is so piss poor on them compared to the j&m stuff.
the front of my old arms had a heim joint, which was good. however it didn't fit properly, and someone had stacked spacers on each side to fill the space. the rear bushings were egged out badly. one side especially, im sure this is from the famous binding they do.
i replaced my old ones cause i was getting alot of noise from the rear. creaking/snapping and just generally a bad sway feeling when i swerved back and forth. i went for a drive after install, no noises. road feel is MUCH MUCH better. so all in all, i am real impressed with the j&m initially. great welds, appears to be a superiour bushing/heim design, good fit, and most important the PRICE. i paid nearly half of what MM charges for the HD weight jacker arms.
ill get some pics tomorrow probably. been doin alot of work to the car. this was just one of the recent upgrades worth mentioning for the next guy
