Jack-it Pro Tips and Advice
At Jack-it we strongly recommend using control arms equipped the factory style clevite rubber bushings. While some brands use polyurethane bushings claiming superior durability, the reality is poly bushing wear quickly, give a harsher ride and usually squeak unless you regularly lubricate the bushings. Clevite rubber bushings wear better, do not effect the ride quality and are not noisy. Brands like BDS, Zone and Rough Country all use this type of bushing.
Important Notes

Does not fit Bronco Sport models
Do NOT hit the aluminum knuckle with a hammer to separate the ball joint. Use appropriate ball joint separation tool.

BDS UCAs will NOT work with OE black body struts, unless they are combined with a strut spacer (minimum ride height of 5-8")
