Default Control arms
Hey a buddy of mine says its possible to use WJ or ZJ lower control arms on a XJ. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Thought I saw a junk yard thread on here but couldnt find it. Thanks

They are not much stronger but do have a bend to slightly clear tires better.

Yeah, I think they work, but don't you have to cut down the bushing on the so they will fit??

I think it needs to be shaved a little but that is about it. Haven't read about the swap in years but that sounds right thanks COS.

XJ and ZJ and TJ CA are all interchangeable, the WJ have a bend in them are more boxed and they need to be trimmed down..
