Alignment: We recommend you have a suspension specialist align your Jeep once a MetalCloak suspension is installed. Do Jeep TJ need adjustable control arms?Registered. As mentioned, you only need to get adjustable control arms if you have a CV style rear driveshaft with slip yoke eliminator where the correct pinion angle is directly in line with the driveshaft or to correct caster angle on the front axle.
What do adjustable control arms do Jeep?Adjustable control arms allow you to center your axle with your wheel well and set your pinion angle.
What do adjustable upper control arms do?Upper control arms are found on independent front suspension (IFS) vehicles and generally connects the top of the spindle to the frame. The UCA is generally not a load bearing piece of an IFS suspension; rather, its purpose is to guide your spindle in a pre-determined motion when your suspension cycles up or down.
Do I need adjustable upper control arms?If you lift your 4WD, altering your vehicles geometry, then yes you will need adjustable upper control arms. An aftermarket control arm, when designed correctly like SuperPro 4x4 Control arms, will correct alignment and inherent clearance issues that arise when you lift or modify the suspension of your 4WD.
