EVO offroad lower control arms

Alright, these aren't "free", I want a 12 pack of good IPA beer for them.

$462 Evo Mfg adjustable lower front control arms for a JK.

The adjusters are shot- they cost $100. I didn't have them tightened enough and the johnny joints now are loose even with the pinch bolts tight. Evo said new adjusters should fix it. Worse case, you might need new Johnny joints too, which are another $100 (but I think they're free) So worse case, you get $462 control arms for $200 in parts and $15 worth of beer. Best case, $100 in parts and $15 in beer.

Evo's response to the johnny joint clunking:

EVO wrote:Jeep love,

The pinch bolt does not appear to be tight in the video. There is a slot in the adjustable collar as well as in the control arm that we recommend lining up and then tightening the pinch bolt down. Doing so will help clamp the joint and adjustment collar down.

If you do indeed need to replace the Johnny Joint or EVO Adjustable Collar below are the part numbers and retail pricing for both, these are available through any EVO MFG Dealer.

EVO-20008CZ EVO Large Adjustable Collar $48.00 each
EVO-600030 CE-9114: JOHNNY JOINT 2 1/2" FORGED W/ 1 1/4" RH THREADED STUD, 9/16 BOLT $54.95 each
