Front axle Johnny Joints

CalSgt · Dec 13, 2020

Has anyone used the Johnny Joints that replace the bushings pressed in the front axle housing? Are they worth while?

Asking because I have the front axle out & most of the EVO long Arm Coilover setup complete, figured they would be easier to replace with the axle on the bench while I'm setting up the gears.

Don’t do it. Speaking from experience here. You’re better off with the clevite bushings.

They look like a better option than the stock rubber bushings in my JK. Give em a go and let us know how they work out.

Edit: Nvm listen to Eddie...Haha

Do you get death wobble when the joints wear out? Had always wondered about these too
