Overview
The TeraFlex TER1952200 is a complete JK 8-Arm short control arm joint rebuild kit. It includes every component needed to rebuild all eight TeraFlex short control arms on a JK Wrangler or Wrangler Unlimited.
TeraFlex says dust, fluids and road grime take their toll on the bushings in a control arm. The company advises rebuilding the joints periodically to bring them back to factory tolerances, which is the purpose of this kit.
Key features
- Complete rebuild kit for all eight short control arms
- Includes all components needed for the rebuild
- Designed to restore joints to factory tolerances
- Suited to periodic rebuilds on a JK Wrangler or Unlimited
Signs the joints need a rebuild
Short control arms position the axle and let it articulate, so worn joints show up as clunks over bumps, loose steering feel or uneven tire wear. Dust, water and grit work into the bushings over time, which is why periodic inspection matters on a vehicle that sees trail use. Look for torn boots, dry or cracked bushings and any movement at the joint when the arm is held and rocked by hand.
Rebuilding works best on arms that are otherwise sound. Check the arm itself for bends, cracks and damaged welds before putting new parts into it. Clean every surface thoroughly, use the grease the joint calls for, and reassemble with fresh hardware. After reinstalling the arms, have the alignment checked, since the joints set the arm geometry.
- Check for torn boots and leaking grease
- Replace worn hardware rather than reusing it
- Recheck fasteners after the first few drives

Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Check that your arms are TeraFlex short control arms before starting the rebuild.
Installation notes
Rebuild the joints with the arms removed from the vehicle, and check the alignment after the arms are reinstalled, since the joints set the arm geometry.
