05 Liberty rear upper control arm....

[Peter Ruggeri]

New to the forum here. I have an 05 liberty. I bought the jeep two years ago and it needed a rear upper control arm, the boomerang style. The first time I replaced it I used a Moog and needed to replace it six months later. At that point I purchased a Detroit Axle CA. It lasted almost 9 months. When that one went bad I took it to a dealer and had them replace it with a genuine one. The guys in the shop went off about using cheap aftermarket parts.........well here I am now again with it needing replacement again...much like the others the rubber in the bushings is shredded. When I installed it I put everything in hand tight....bounced the suspension a few times and tightened everything at ride height....the guys at the dealership have no answer. It’s a completely stock Liberty, no
Mods, no lift. I completely rebuilt the front end when I bought it and that’s been solid.

Moog, Detroit Axle, and other cheap Tri-Links are just that, cheap. I only recommend Mopar and that is it.
I've tried a cheaper one years back when I couldn't get a Mopar one, lasted 3 months
Buy Mopar or talk to JBA about the bolt on
