I got some used lower and upper Rubicon Express adjustable super flex arms and was wondering how much "play" should be in the flex joints. The lowers feel real good; I have to put a bolt in them to move them around. But the uppers are much easer to move, I can move them around with just my hand. I have greased them up and am about to install them and just wondering what you guys have experienced with them?

Thanks

They should have some resistance to them,sounds like the uppers need adjusted.

I didn't know they could be adjusted. How do you do that?

RE sells a special 4 pin tool that fits in the 4 holes. you can try without it. remove the set screw and tighten it. make sure you put back the set screw after.

Are you sure they are Super-Flex arms? The adjustability should be obvious!

I was told by RE that they need to be tight; you should not be able to move them with your hand
