Commander Control Arms

[Jeepdownunder]

Hi guys who is the best crowd to get stuff from the U.S ? I have to replace the front Control Arms and I'm not paying $800.00 each here that's for sure.

Thanks?

Have you tried ebay, remember the grand ones are the same .

I need to get mine done also but the pricing for genuine MOPAR is about $350-400USD ($480-550AUD) plus delivery. I get most of my MOPAR parts through http://www.genuineautoparts.com.au/ and they are cheaper than the stealership and for example the glass liftgate hinges on the GC is $135ea stealership and $90ea Genuine Auto Parts.

I've got a thermostat and housing plus the 2 hinges for $300 plus $17 for delivery from Sydney to Cairns.

If you still want to look at US try http://www.rockauto.com/ and I have bought from them and are good and do ship to Australia. From their website I got $600 for a MOPAR lower control arm right delivered to Cairns as a test and GAP is about $770.

With buying from the US you need to have the correct part number with GAP you can add your VIN and they make sure you get the correct part.

Hope that helps

Which control arms are you replacing Jeepdownunder? The uppers?

And do you have a lift kit installed?

If you do, grab a set of Jeepin By Al (JBA) upper control arms from Murchison Products as they have greaseable and replaceable ball joints and bushes, so no need to ever have to replace the whole arms again.

Mopar America sell the control arms complete.

How come your replacing the whole arm and not just the bushes or the ball joint?

I have just replaced my lower control arms got them off EBAY for about $360.00 / set delivered search on ebay.com not ebay.com.au some of the shipping rates are really cheap.
Do a check on amazon as well.

Are you getting upper control arms as well, how's the top ball joint?
I noticed on mine chamber on the drivers side wheel I could adjust but passengers side wheel it was about 6 mm off vertical with lower control arms adjusted to max...I stopped short on slotting the chassis instead got same dia nut bolt and ground one side of the washer helped a little now about 4 mm off vertical.

I believe you can get adjustable upper control arms to correct this problem.
I should have done that.
On wheel alignments make sure your steering wheel is centre when driving straight ahead, too far out and its going to throw codes ..."steering angle sensor " turn on your BAS ESP and traction lights.

While you have all that apart...how's the front brake pads, sway bar bushes $35 for rubber ones ebay aussie supplier, front struts and rubber upper and lower mounts.
A friend just installed the complete strut assembly that included springs strut and mounts preassembled about $600 from USA...he is happy with them. I did mine replacing springs struts and mounts ...same price .

Check front diff mounts too

I replaced just bushes one side a couple years ago...I paid a engineering shop $180 to press the old one out and the new ones in plus about $70 for the bushes. plus lower ball joint???
The new piller block mount was not put back on in the same place and caused issues.
Cheaper to buy the whole control arm and less work easier job.
