Johnny Joints for UCA brackets

These are Johnny Joints sized for the Artec TJ3002-1 upper control arm brackets. When you run an Artec Dana 30 or Rubicon Dana 44 truss with Artec's replacement UCA brackets, the joint is what carries the upper control arm through suspension travel. Choosing a Johnny Joint gives you a rebuildable flex joint instead of a pressed bushing, so it can be serviced rather than replaced.

Key Features

• Rebuildable Johnny Joint flex joint for the upper control arm mount
• Sized specifically for the Artec TJ3002-1 UCA brackets
• Handles the articulation and misalignment of a trussed front axle
• Serviceable design lets you rebuild the joint instead of replacing the whole assembly

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed to fit the Artec TJ3002-1 upper control arm brackets, which are used with Artec Dana 30 and Rubicon Dana 44 trusses on TJ, LJ, XJ, MJ and ZJ platforms. This is the joint option for those Artec UCA brackets; the alternative is the Daystar bushing option if you prefer a polyurethane bushing.
