1/2" Press-In Upper Control Arm Flex Joint
Replace worn-out upper control arm bushings or upgrade your suspension with Iron Rock Off Road's rebuildable press-in flex joint. Designed for Jeep builders who need increased suspension articulation, this joint provides up to 30° of total misalignment while maintaining a compact, OEM-fit 2" mounting width.

Each joint is precision machined and supplied unassembled.
Product Features & Benefits
-
Press-In Replacement: Designed to replace compatible axle-side upper control arm bushings. Also suitable for upper control arm bushings in compatible factory, Iron Rock Off Road, and other aftermarket control arms.
-
2" Mounting Width: Matches the mounting width of OE Jeep upper control arm bushings for compatibility with OE and most aftermarket control arms.
-
1/2" Through-Bolt: Designed for applications using a 1/2" mounting bolt.
-
30° Total Misalignment: Provides substantial angular movement to accommodate suspension articulation and help reduce joint binding.
-
UHMW Races: Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW) offers excellent impact and abrasion resistance, low friction, and self-lubricating performance.
-
Bolt-Together Design: No snap rings or threaded jam nuts are required to retain the joint's internal components.
-
Simple Assembly & Maintenance: No spanner wrench is required to assemble or maintain the joint. Simply use the provided allen key to assemble the joint.
-
Fully Rebuildable: Designed to be disassembled and rebuilt, allowing worn internal components to be serviced instead of replacing the entire joint.
-
Builder-Friendly Design: An alternate weld-on variant is a versatile solution for custom control arm fabrication and suspension setups requiring greater articulation than conventional rubber bushings.
Fitment & Applications
The 1/2" version is intended for compatible front axle upper control arm mounting locations using a 1/2" through-bolt, and to upgrade hardware dimensions on custom applications.
Typical applications include:

-
Upgrading from M10/M12 hardware found on control arms.
