Hey, I got some fresh 33s put on today. While It was in there they said my upper control arms need replaced (A reputable shop and I could see the wear on the bushing). Even tho they are new I put them on when I rebuilt the front end less than 10k miles ago. I belive it’s a bad brand. I was wondering what y’all would recommend for lift (2”-4”) upper control arms that don’t brake the bank? Also are they universal between 11th gen and up because KSP Performance says 04-20 f150?

thank you

 

Moog problem solvers.

 

I just replaced mine & used Moog.

 

Worn out in 10k miles?
The bushings were wrapped up?
The bolts need to be tightened when on the ground to neutralize the suspension
That way the bushings will not be bound up and binding as the suspension moves

 

OEM.

Had too many problems with Moog problem solvers when I used to have my 2008. They’re not the same quality they used to be.

You will get a longer life with OEM units.

 

They can’t be tightened on the ground cause the bolts run behind the strut. They didn’t wrap up, the inner part that goes around the bolt and the outer part that connects to the control arm ripped apart. So it can slide forward and backwards if that makes any sense. I’ve never seen anything like it before But that’s why I believe it’s cause of a a bad quality part.

 

I just looked and I couldn’t find any lift uppers by moof only factory replacements. Am I looking in the wrong place or do they only sell OEM replacements?

 

Most parts are going to be OEM style replacement.
If you want something for a lift you need to look at off road brands like icon, rough country, etc.

These are the ones I Installed on my truck with a 2.5" level, been good now for 30K miles.

 

Then your bushings on the new arms will fail quick
You simulate ride height any way you can\
I have a pit to use which makes it easy to do front end work
You need to neutralize the suspension if you want your new parts to last
Right, look that up
